Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
700 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
27 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts and Amazon Web Services), adding 88 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
3 checks passed
Mobile performance score: 92
92/100Your mobile performance score is 92. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 87 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 303 ms
303 msYour server sent the HTML in 303 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.04 g of CO₂ per visit
0.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.04 g of CO₂e: 4.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 132 KiB in 24 requests
132 KiBYour homepage downloads 132 KiB in 24 requests on a phone: images 47 KiB (14), fonts 42 KiB (5) and HTML 24 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
53 internal links, 29 external
The homepage links to 53 pages on khalti.com and 29 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 127 characters
Your meta description is 127 characters: “Khalti by IME — Ek App for Infinite Possibilities. Nepal's first unified payment platform bringing together Khalti and …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Nepal's 1st Unified Payment Platform”.
Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Khalti by IME | Nepal's 1st Unified Payment Platform”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://khalti.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://khalti.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (882 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
https://khalti.com/bluebook-renew has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

No form on the homepage
