leadpages.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 12.1 MB77 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12.1 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 550 KiBAbout 550 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45 (desktop: 75). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.7 s
A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, iubenda and Facebook and others), adding 1,013 KiB and 847 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 312 ms
312 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 515 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Improve image delivery
316 KiB6 images could be 316 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,867 HTML elements
The page has 2,867 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 260 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 54 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 75 but mobile only 45. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.6 MB in 187 requests
14.6 MBYour homepage downloads 14.6 MB in 187 requests on a phone: media 8.5 MB (4), images 3.4 MB (57) and scripts 1.8 MB (63). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
leadpages-icon.png weighs 578 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
577 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example leadpages-icon.png at 947 px wide, shown at 13 px. Resized copies would save about 577 KiB.
25 images in older formats
25 images (1.8 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (578 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.13 g of CO₂e: 496.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
10 buttons without a name
10 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
17 text elements with low contrast
17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 153 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (leadpages.com).
Valid certificate (79 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for leadpages.com and is valid for another 79 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://leadpages.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
leadpages.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off

Registered until Feb 2027

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 2,025 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,025 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:21794907.spf03.hubspotemail.net -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
