Speed
Improve image delivery
6.0 s · 1.5 MB7 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 482 KiBAbout 482 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 86). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1,003 KiB and 625 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 485 ms
485 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 485 ms of main-thread work and 763 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
450 ms · 50 KiBAbout 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 86 but mobile only 53. 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.

Main-thread work: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 857 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.6 s
19.6 sYour largest element takes 19.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 7.5 s
7.5 sThe first text or image appears after 7.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 19.6 s
19.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.6 s
7.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 256 ms
256 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 256 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 56 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 56 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (34), scripts 976 KiB (9) and other files 347 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
IMG.png weighs 955 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example IMG.png at 1,800 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
12 images in older formats
12 images (2.8 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 below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (558 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
30 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Home - Lucera | Lucera”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
44 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 44 pages on lucera.com and 8 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 128 characters
Your meta description is 128 characters: “Reinventing financial infrastructure; on demand building blocks for today's trading application; high performance infra…”.
Canonical URL set

Structured data in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://www.lucera.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.lucera.com/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
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (721 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
https://www.lucera.com/products-2/lucera-connect, https://www.lucera.com/products-2/lucera-compute, https://www.lucera.com/products-2/lucera-lumemarkets, https://www.lucera.com/products-2/use-cases, https://www.lucera.com/company/about and https://www.lucera.com/company/news-press and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No direct contact details

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.

1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
