Speed

3 to fix79
  • Main-thread work: 5.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 576 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 1,538 HTML elements

    The page has 1,538 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 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 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    42 KiB

    1 image could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Cloudflare), adding 10 KiB and 16 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix83
  • Time to Interactive: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Your largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “MartialLabs is CTO-as-a-Service from the team that builds a…”. Most of its time is element render delay (4.2 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 332 ms

    332 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 332 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.12 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.12 g of CO₂e: 14.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 434 KiB in 23 requests

    434 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 434 KiB in 23 requests on a phone: scripts 160 KiB (10), fonts 120 KiB (2) and images 53 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9697
  • 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.

  • 8 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (220 characters)

    Your meta description is 220 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 32 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 32 pages on martiallabs.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “From technical chaosto systems that run.”.

  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “MartialLabs | Your CTO-as-a-Service in the AI world”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://martiallabs.com/sitemap.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://martiallabs.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 (1,536 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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.

  • About 1,502 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,502 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book a consultation”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Book a consultation”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks and “15+ companies”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 martiallabs.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
