mountaingoatsoftware.com website review

About 245 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, iubenda and Cloudflare and others), adding 605 KiB and 722 ms of main-thread time.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 586 ms of main-thread work and 475 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Agile That Actually Works For Your Teams”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 581 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 31.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The homepage links to 103 pages on mountaingoatsoftware.com and 8 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://www.mountaingoatsoftware.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://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/agile-coaching, https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/backlog-story-improvement, https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/estimating-planning, https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/leadership-alignment, https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/team-improvement-sprints and https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/services/scrum-team-improvement use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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 1,060 words of visible text.

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

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
