Render-blocking requests
3.4 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.6 s · 437 KiBAbout 437 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 330 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (330 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optanon and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 859 ms
859 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 859 ms of main-thread work and 570 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 458 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, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
115 KiB1 image could be 115 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
46 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 46 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
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: 15.8 s
15.8 sYour largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Marklogic background”.
First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sThe first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 16.0 s
16.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.0 s

Total Blocking Time: 611 ms
611 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 611 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 233 ms
233 msReal visitors wait 233 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 199 ms to 233 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
66 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example resource-featured-image-770x4334084154184274f1595a6bd484e66f at 1,540 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 66 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (123 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 106 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 106 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (43), images 175 KiB (24) and stylesheets 66 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail 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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (85 characters)
Your title is 85 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Most Flexible, AI-Ready Multi-Model Data Management Platform | Progress Marklogic”.

8 links crawlers can't follow

AI answer engines may read the site
