ledger.com website review

95 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).

About 499 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

13 images could be 711 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (reddit, Google Tag Manager and TikTok and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

reddit costs a phone 587 ms of main-thread work and 26 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 Tag Manager costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 385 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 1,946 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

About 47 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.

11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 17.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 459 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 155 ms to 151 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 192 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (91), scripts 1.4 MB (48) and other files 128 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

visual_wallet.webp weighs 1.1 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

21 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.

2 images further down the page (377 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 144.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 dropdown has no label.

2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 153 pages on ledger.com and 108 external pages.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,409 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Outbrain and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 30 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 51 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
