Render-blocking requests
2.5 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Main-thread work: 9.0 s
A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 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, Wistia and Google CDN and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
941 KiBAbout 941 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 602 ms
602 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 602 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
489 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (489 KiB).
Wistia adds 424 ms
424 msWistia costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 409 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.
Google CDN adds 382 ms
382 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 431 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 318 ms
318 msFacebook costs a phone 318 ms of main-thread work and 198 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.
Hubspot adds 251 ms
251 msHubspot costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 327 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
47 KiB47 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify JavaScript
26 KiB26 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 55. 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.

2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 190 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (53), stylesheets 87 KiB (10) and fonts 78 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
22 text elements with low contrast
22 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 78 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.leanpath.com/page-sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
42 internal links, 36 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on leanpath.com and 36 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,004 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
11 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://www.leanpath.com/products, https://www.leanpath.com/products/food-waste-tracking, https://www.leanpath.com/industries, https://www.leanpath.com/industries/food-industry-waste-management-solutions, https://www.leanpath.com/industries/hotel-food-waste-management-solutions and https://www.leanpath.com/industries/college-university and 5 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.leanpath.com/contact has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.leanpath.com/privacy-policy has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.leanpath.com/privacy-policy took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
