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
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Hubspot and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 701 ms
701 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 701 ms of main-thread work and 1,007 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 207 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (207 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
636 KiBAbout 636 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 284 KiB10 images could be 284 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 265 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 176 ms
176 msShopify costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 531 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.
1,639 HTML elements
The page has 1,639 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 14 ms
14 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 19.7 s
19.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Real-user TTFB: 839 ms
839 msReal visitors wait 839 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 552 ms
552 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 552 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
34 images without width and height
34 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Speed Index: 4.1 s
4.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
7 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 1.5 s
1.5 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 14% faster for real visitors
-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 144 ms to 124 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 217 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 217 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (66), other files 836 KiB (109) and images 461 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
rhino-widget-super_1600x.jpg 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).
1 image far larger than shown
178 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ChatIcon.png at 1,024 px wide, shown at 56 px. Resized copies would save about 178 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (34 KiB) is 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.89 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
16 images without alt text
16 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (69 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 69 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
66 form fields without a label
66 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
20 links without text
20 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “NOVEDGE : The Largest Selection of 3D Design Software and Solutions”.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Search the Largest Selection of Design Software”, “Popular Products” and “Recent Blog Posts”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Organization, Store and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.
4 links crawlers can't follow
4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
179 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 179 pages on novedge.com and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 149 characters
Your meta description is 149 characters: “Whether you are an architect, engineer, filmmaker or graphic designer, we offer you with the best 3D software and relat…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://novedge.com/.
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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://novedge.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,506 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://novedge.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://novedge.com/collections/allproducts declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://novedge.com/collections/allproducts all use the title “NOVEDGE : The Largest Selection of 3D Design Software and Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
https://novedge.com/collections/products-on-promotion, https://novedge.com/collections/bundles, https://novedge.com/collections/civil-engineering, https://novedge.com/collections/hardware-products, https://novedge.com/collections/interior-design and https://novedge.com/collections/jewelry-design have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://novedge.com/collections/bundles has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 74 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices

6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected end of input”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Thin social proof

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link

About 656 words of copy

LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 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.
35 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 35 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 novedge.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
