Speed

12 to fix38
  • Render-blocking requests

    5.4 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.4 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.8 s · 817 KiB

    About 817 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 38

    38/100

    Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 69). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 25.3 MB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25.3 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Google CDN and others), adding 28.5 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 202 ms

    202 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 27.4 MB 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

    420 ms · 126 KiB

    About 126 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 446 ms

    446 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 446 ms of main-thread work and 467 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

    437 KiB

    2 images could be 437 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 296 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google CDN adds 142 ms

    142 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 355 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.

  • Minify CSS

    22 KiB

    22 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 69 but mobile only 38. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.2 s

    14.2 s

    Your largest element takes 14.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 887 ms

    887 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 887 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 203 ms

    203 ms

    Real visitors wait 203 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 179 ms to 187 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 28% faster for real visitors

    -28%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.6 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 29.3 MB in 87 requests

    29.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 29.3 MB in 87 requests on a phone: media 25.1 MB (6), images 1.8 MB (12) and scripts 1.7 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 8.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    8.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.30 g of CO₂e: 995.4 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

5 to fixGoogle 8993
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 links without text

    7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Positive tabindex

    2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 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

5 to fixGoogle 8583
  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Where AI meets open creativity”, “Our open-source AI model. Generate high-quality v…” and “Giving you the power to enhance and edit your pho…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (268 characters)

    Your meta description is 268 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 4 problems

    Structured data found (Organization and Product) but with 4 problems, for example “Product: no offers (price) block”.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 5 internal links, 28 external

    The homepage links to 5 pages on lightricks.com and 28 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “The AI Technology Company Empowering Creativity | Lightricks”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.lightricks.com/.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.lightricks.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (296 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 2 internal pages checked

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 2 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 318 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 318 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Try LTX Buzz” and “Data Subject Request”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 lightricks.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
