mettl.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

The page has 2,031 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

1 third-party service load with your homepage (VWO), adding 240 KiB and 8 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

About 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

1 image could be 11 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Best Talent Assessment Company - Online Tools & Software Platform | Mercer | Mettl”.

Your meta description is 194 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization and https://schema.org/WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “https://schema.org/WebPage: missing @context (expected "https://schema.org")”.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 93 pages on mettl.com and 28 external pages.

There is no https://mettl.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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,809 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

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