Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.5 s · 693 KiBAbout 693 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 76). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 18.3 MB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18.3 MB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 882 KiB and 620 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
649 KiB17 images could be 649 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 544 ms
544 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 544 ms of main-thread work and 494 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 274 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 996 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 76 but mobile only 49. 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.

Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.9 s
11.9 sYour largest element takes 11.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We make change stick.”. Most of its time is element render delay (4.8 s).
Time to Interactive: 11.9 s
11.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
48 images without width and height
48 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 478 ms
478 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 478 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.5 MB in 56 requests
20.5 MBYour homepage downloads 20.5 MB in 56 requests on a phone: media 18.2 MB (2), scripts 1.3 MB (10) and images 797 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images far larger than shown
439 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example emplify-logo-DksNRR5Z.png at 1,584 px wide, shown at 85 px. Resized copies would save about 439 KiB.
7 images in older formats
7 images (493 KiB) 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.
About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit
5.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.80 g of CO₂e: 696.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
27 tap targets too small
27 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.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (169 characters)
Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 800 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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.

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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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.
