Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 952 KiBAbout 952 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 1.4 MB38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 748 KiB4 images could be 748 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google FundingChoices and others), adding 1.7 MB and 707 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 391 ms
391 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 793 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.
Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 218 ms
218 msGoogle/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 535 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 56. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 84 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 84 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (40), images 1.1 MB (13) and stylesheets 59 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (23 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Notabul.com |”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://notabul.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
104 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 104 pages on notabul.com and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://notabul.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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 /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 (662 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /author/mackenzie, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
14 pages without a meta description
/topics/business, /topics/careers, /topics/auto, /topics/health, /travel/relax-more-plan-less-why-senior-cruises-appeal-to-so-many-travelers and /topics/travel and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Best practices

Mobile viewport set

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 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.
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.
About 634 words of copy
The homepage carries about 634 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Subscribe” and “Contact Us”.

Privacy and tracking

5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 notabul.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
