Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1,018 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,018 KiB).
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Mobile performance score: 99
99/100Your mobile performance score is 99. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 16 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 12 ms
12 msYour server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sYour largest element renders in 2.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “to make your life better”.
Time to Interactive: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe page is fully interactive after 2.0 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 86.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 10.0 MB in 19 requests
10.0 MBYour homepage downloads 10.0 MB in 19 requests on a phone: media 9.7 MB (2), fonts 146 KiB (4) and images 70 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (86.8 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
3200ec4516d57298a960d3678bd5dbcd.gif is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.83 g of CO₂e: 339.4 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
10 images without alt text
10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (44 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 44 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 checks passed
13 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 15 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 13 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (8 characters)
Your title is only 8 characters: “Mertaine”. 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 robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at mertaine.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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 checks passed
Meta description: 79 characters
Your meta description is 79 characters: “SaaS Consultancy that helps organisations get established in the UK and Ireland”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://mertaine.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://mertaine.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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (192 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
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”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 192 words
The homepage has only about 192 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening 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.
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 mertaine.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
