Speed

5 to fix70
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.4 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.4 s · 289 KiB

    About 289 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    705 KiB

    About 705 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 438 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 36 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    250 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    23 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 79 KiB and 2 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    5 KiB

    1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 603 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix72
  • Time to Interactive: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Phrasea the Open Source DAM Built on over 30 years of exper…”.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 316 ms

    316 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 316 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 28 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 28 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (5), stylesheets 311 KiB (4) and fonts 161 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8892
  • 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.

  • Frames without titles

    3 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names.

    Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • Meta description is long (177 characters)

    Your meta description is 177 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and SoftwareApplication) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

  • 25 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 25 pages on phrasea.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Phrasea the Open Source DAM”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Phrasea | Open Source Digital Asset Management Software”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.phrasea.com/en.

  • 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://www.phrasea.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 https://www.phrasea.com/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 (585 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 3 linked pages hidden from search

    https://www.phrasea.com/en/support, https://www.phrasea.com/en/mentionslegales and https://www.phrasea.com/en/cookie-policy are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.phrasea.com/en/contactus and https://www.phrasea.com/en/cookie-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://www.phrasea.com/en/demo, https://www.phrasea.com/en/features and https://www.phrasea.com/en/cookie-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.phrasea.com/en/contactus has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 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 a title

    All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix60
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

  • About 445 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 445 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Request a Demo”, “DEMO” and “To get started”.

  • Analytics in place

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 phrasea.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
