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
Mobile performance score: 85
85/100Your mobile performance score is 85 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 461 KiBAbout 461 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and IPONWEB and others), adding 817 KiB and 626 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 279 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (279 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 471 ms
471 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 471 ms of main-thread work and 546 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
180 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 180 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 147 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 834 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 10.9 s
10.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
32 images without width and height
32 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sYour largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “LET'S FIND YOUR NEXT JOB Job title Location/Zip Search Jobs…”.
Total Blocking Time: 272 ms
272 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 272 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 197 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.5 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: 1.4 MB in 109 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 109 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (12), images 206 KiB (59) and stylesheets 54 KiB (3). 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
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (90 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 90 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “Search jobs online - Lensa”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Corporation and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://lensa.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
62 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 62 pages on lensa.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 120 characters
Your meta description is 120 characters: “Find a job you love on Lensa! Search millions of jobs online and find companies who are hiring now on our new job board.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Let's find your next job”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 3 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
No llms.txt
There is no /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
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (468 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
/my-jobs and /career-assistant are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without an H1
/my-jobs, /career-assistant and /faq have 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 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
6 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Every page has a meta description
All 6 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has a title
All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.lensa.com/lensa-site-public/lensa-site-app-365.0a12b559e6cb1f905b7f.css' from …”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
10 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 542 words of copy
The homepage carries about 542 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Learn more” and “Contact User Support”.
1 short form
A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
20 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at lensa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
