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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix69
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.7 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.7 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 189 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (189 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 136 KiB

    About 136 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 112 KiB

    About 112 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.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Hubspot), adding 197 KiB and 133 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    12 KiB

    1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 69. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 247 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 24 ms

    24 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 24 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Your largest element takes 5.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 147 ms to 134 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

  • Real-user INP: 135 ms

    135 ms

    Real visitors wait 135 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.20 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.20 g of CO₂e: 24.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 739 KiB in 36 requests

    739 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 739 KiB in 36 requests on a phone: scripts 316 KiB (8), fonts 202 KiB (4) and stylesheets 125 KiB (17). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fix82
  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 9 links without text

    9 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 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.

  • 100 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 100 pages on patchmypc.com and 23 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “Simplify IT with Patch My PC's endpoint management software. Automate patching, app updates, reporting, and analytics t…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Automate Third-Party Patch Management in Intune & Microsoft ConfigMgr”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Automated Endpoint Management & Patching Simplified - Patch My PC”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://patchmypc.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://patchmypc.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /quote and /free-trial have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /technology/intune and /technology/config-manager-wsus use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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>.

Domain and trust

4 checks passed
  • Domain is 22 years old
