Speed

12 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 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

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 701 ms

    701 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (207 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    636 KiB

    About 636 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 284 KiB

    10 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your 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 ms

    Real visitors wait 839 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 552 ms

    552 ms

    Scripts 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 s

    Visually, 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

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 132 ms

    132 ms

    Real visitors wait 132 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real 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 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 217 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

9 to fixGoogle 8690
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 7780
  • 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

100
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

4 to fix73
  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    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

2 to fix83
  • 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

    Social proof on the homepage: 246 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 656 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 656 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Gift Shop”, “Contact Us” and “Sign Up”.

  • 8 short forms

    8 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before 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

    19

    Opening 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.
