Speed

5 to fix59
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 415 KiB

    About 415 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 957 KiB

    8 images could be 957 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 78 KiB

    About 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 59. 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 26 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

  • Document request latency

    2 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 237 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Maverick Capital”.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 17.8 MB in 25 requests

    17.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 17.8 MB in 25 requests on a phone: media 13.4 MB (1), images 3.5 MB (17) and scripts 773 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (1.7 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.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (1.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    110 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 2625Augustine Drive-CzxGyBax.jpg at 1,152 px wide, shown at 356 px. Resized copies would save about 110 KiB.

  • About 5.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.06 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.06 g of CO₂e: 607.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fix84
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 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.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9269
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “Maverick Capital”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

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

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Maverick Capital is a global investment firm applying deep fundamental research and data-driven insights to preserve an…”.

  • 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://www.maverickcapital.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 576 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://maverickcapital.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix20
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 576 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 576 words of visible text.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts 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 maverickcapital.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
