Speed

10 to fix31
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.7 s · 743 KiB

    About 743 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 696 KiB

    2 images could be 696 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 15.6 MB and 734 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 1.4 MB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

  • WordPress adds 10 ms

    10 ms

    WordPress costs a phone 10 ms of main-thread work and 13.9 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

    900 ms · 165 KiB

    About 165 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 314 ms

    314 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 742 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 adds 233 ms

    233 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 540 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 46 ms

    46 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix34
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.9 s

    26.9 s

    Your largest element takes 26.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Leading the digital transformation of deferred compensation…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.3 s

    27.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.59

    0.59

    The layout shifts by 0.59 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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
  • Total Blocking Time: 183 ms

    183 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 183 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 18.1 MB in 108 requests

    18.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 18.1 MB in 108 requests on a phone: media 12.7 MB (2), images 2.4 MB (21) and scripts 1.8 MB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    mapbenefits-hero-image.png weighs 905 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (905 KiB) is 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 5.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.12 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.12 g of CO₂e: 614.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

11 to fixGoogle 8185
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    5 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (33 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 33 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 3 links without text

    3 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.

  • Skip links are not focusable.

    Skip links are not focusable. (1 element).

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“mapbenefits” and “mapbenefits”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 5 links crawlers can't follow

    5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 28 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 28 pages on mapbenefits.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 106 characters

    Your meta description is 106 characters: “mapbenefits is a cloud based SaaS platform for the administration of nonqualified executive benefit plans.”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “mapbenefits | nonqualified executive benefit plans”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://mapbenefits.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://mapbenefits.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://mapbenefits.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 (1,296 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://mapbenefits.com/about-us, https://mapbenefits.com/the-experience, https://mapbenefits.com/mobile-app, https://mapbenefits.com/using-mapbenefits, https://mapbenefits.com/partnership and https://mapbenefits.com/premier-partner and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://mapbenefits.com/corporations and https://mapbenefits.com/speaking-engagements use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://mapbenefits.com/corporations, https://mapbenefits.com/financial-and-consulting-firms, https://mapbenefits.com/401k-providers, https://mapbenefits.com/platform, https://mapbenefits.com/about-us and https://mapbenefits.com/the-experience and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 pages with very little text

    https://mapbenefits.com/corporations, https://mapbenefits.com/financial-and-consulting-firms, https://mapbenefits.com/401k-providers, https://mapbenefits.com/platform, https://mapbenefits.com/about-us and https://mapbenefits.com/the-experience and 9 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83
  • 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 risk reducer

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

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 HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) 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 mapbenefits.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
