Speed

16 to fix7
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    7.7 s · 2.1 MB

    About 2.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    9.4 s

    89 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 9.4 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.0 s · 1.1 MB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 423 KiB

    About 423 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 7

    7/100

    Your mobile performance score is 7. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 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 (YouTube, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 459 KiB

    8 images could be 459 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 569 ms

    569 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 569 ms of main-thread work and 1,005 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 CDN adds 557 ms

    557 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 557 ms of main-thread work and 773 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 Maps adds 523 ms

    523 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 523 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Facebook adds 533 ms

    533 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 533 ms of main-thread work and 351 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 451 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 274 ms

    274 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • 1,582 HTML elements

    The page has 1,582 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 120 ms

    120 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 120 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix0
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Real visitors wait 6.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.42

    0.42

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.42 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.8 s

    26.8 s

    Your largest element takes 26.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 35.4 s

    35.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 35.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.444

    0.444

    The layout shifts by 0.444 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user INP: 205 ms

    205 ms

    Real visitors wait 205 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 57% slower for real visitors

    +57%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 173 ms to 258 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.6 s to 5.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 13.1 MB in 240 requests

    13.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.1 MB in 240 requests on a phone: media 5.6 MB (3), scripts 4.1 MB (103) and images 2.0 MB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 13 images in older formats

    13 images (1.8 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (290 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.71 g of CO₂e: 445.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8692
  • Images must have alternative text (2 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 5 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7784
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

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

  • 172 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 172 pages on marathon.in and 20 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Marathon Realty is amongst the best real estate developers in Mumbai with a 52 year legacy and over 100 completed proje…”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Marathon Group - Real Estate Developer in Mumbai”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://marathon.in/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://marathon.in/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,093 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://marathon.in/llms.txt (8 KiB, 61 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix78
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://marathon.in/our-projects-old and https://marathon.in/our-projects all use the title “Our Projects - Marathon Group”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://marathon.in/our-projects-old and https://marathon.in/our-projects have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://marathon.in/our-projects-old, whose canonical is https://marathon.in/our-projects. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 8 pages without an H1

    https://marathon.in/about-us, https://marathon.in/design, https://marathon.in/trust, https://marathon.in/engineering, https://marathon.in/nexworld and https://marathon.in/monte-carlo and 2 others 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 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 303 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 303 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get in touch” and “Learn More”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 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). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 marathon.in, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
