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
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Google Tag Manager and Framer CDN and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 917 KiBAbout 917 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 MB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Hubspot adds 653 ms
653 msHubspot costs a phone 653 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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 Tag Manager adds 544 ms
544 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 544 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 265 KiB9 images could be 265 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Framer CDN adds 445 ms
445 msFramer CDN costs a phone 445 ms of main-thread work and 794 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.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 248 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 119 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 119 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (53), images 411 KiB (29) and fonts 185 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.6 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.
15 tap targets too small
15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 33 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
28 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
10 H1 headlines
There are 10 <h1> headlines (“Blockchain Infrastructure for Enterprises”, “Blockchain Infrastructure for Enterprises” and “A suite of regulated blockchain products”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (untyped) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
94 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 94 pages on paxos.com and 27 external pages.
6 checks passed

3 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 5 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details

No form on the homepage

No risk reducer
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 423 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
