Speed

7 to fix61
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8.2 s · 2.4 MB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    5.5 s · 1.7 MB

    8 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.2 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.8 s · 351 KiB

    About 351 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 115 KiB

    About 115 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 50 KiB

    50 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 212 KiB and 110 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 67 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    38 KiB

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 178 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 132 ms

    132 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 132 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “paid newsletters”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012

    0.012

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 27 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 34 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 34 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (8), stylesheets 380 KiB (11) and scripts 343 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    paid_newsletters_tiny-300x169.png 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).

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (754 KiB) 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.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.1 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

4 to fixGoogle 8392
  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 21 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 25 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 21 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10080
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (84 characters)

    Your title is 84 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “MoonRise - Place where you can find everything about creating Saas app in JavaScript”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 25 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 25 pages on moonrise.dev and 0 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 73 characters

    Your meta description is 73 characters: “Place where you can find everything about creating Saas app in JavaScript”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://moonrise.dev/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://moonrise.dev/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://moonrise.dev/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 (196 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://moonrise.dev/category/programming, https://moonrise.dev/category/saas, https://moonrise.dev/category/business and https://moonrise.dev/category/vue have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://moonrise.dev/category/programming, https://moonrise.dev/category/saas, https://moonrise.dev/category/business and https://moonrise.dev/category/vue have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    https://moonrise.dev/category/programming, https://moonrise.dev/category/saas, https://moonrise.dev/category/business and https://moonrise.dev/category/vue 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.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 17 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

5 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Only about 196 words

    The homepage has only about 196 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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