Speed

12 to fix55
  • Improve image delivery

    9.0 s · 3.2 MB

    10 images could be 3.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 877 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (877 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 446 KiB

    About 446 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Stripe, JSDelivr CDN and posthog.com and others), adding 6.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Stripe adds 510 ms

    510 ms

    Stripe costs a phone 510 ms of main-thread work and 281 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.

  • JSDelivr CDN adds 385 ms

    385 ms

    JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 385 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • maxos.dev adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    maxos.dev costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 4.3 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 266 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, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • rsms.me adds 1 ms

    1 ms

    rsms.me costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 338 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    17 KiB

    17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix49
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    Your largest element takes 15.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “邮件订阅 首页 产品 读书 文章 关于 maxOS Eventually everything connects - …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 633 ms

    633 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 633 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 59 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 59 requests on a phone: images 4.3 MB (24), scripts 1.0 MB (16) and other files 555 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    genius-makers.png weighs 830 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 11 images far larger than shown

    784 KiB

    11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example genius-makers.png at 600 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 784 KiB.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (2.8 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.

  • 18 images below the first screen load straight away

    18 images further down the page (2.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.76 g of CO₂e: 211.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 17 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (22 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 22 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 31 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is short (56 characters)

    Your meta description is only 56 characters: “Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 74 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 74 pages on maxoxo.me and 0 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “maxOS”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “maxOS - Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://maxoxo.me/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://maxoxo.me/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://maxoxo.me/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 (262 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 15 pages share a meta description

    https://maxoxo.me/tag/design, https://maxoxo.me/tag/books, https://maxoxo.me/tag/articles, https://maxoxo.me/about, https://maxoxo.me/page/2 and https://maxoxo.me/thinking-in-bets and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 8 pages with very little text

    https://maxoxo.me/tag/design, https://maxoxo.me/tag/books, https://maxoxo.me/tag/articles, https://maxoxo.me/about, https://maxoxo.me/page/2 and https://maxoxo.me/antifragile-things-that-gain-from-disorder and 2 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 54 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    27 of 28 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix30
  • 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 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 262 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 262 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: PostHog and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 maxoxo.me, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
