motional.com website review

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.

7 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optanon and others), adding 1.3 MB and 724 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 499 ms of main-thread work and 698 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.

About 423 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (337 KiB).

Optanon costs a phone 67 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.

About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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

Your largest element takes 8.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 15.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.124 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 240 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 150 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

nuReasoning scenario Image-2 (3).png weighs 555 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example nuReasoning scenario Image-2 (3).png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 782 KiB.

Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 89 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (27), scripts 1.1 MB (23) and fonts 386 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

7 images (1.8 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.

5 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Changing How the World Moves” and “News & Insights”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

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

The homepage links to 38 pages on motional.com and 4 external pages.

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.

There is no https://motional.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.

https://motional.com/who-we-are, https://motional.com/leadership, https://motional.com/safety-philosophy, https://motional.com/partnerships, https://motional.com/motional-offices and https://motional.com/what-we-do and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to script at 'https://js-cdn.dynatrace.com/jstag/16362cc0dec/bf47060sfa/9b82a571e98268d1_complete.js' from origi…”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 466 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
