Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 79). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 475 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (475 KiB).
Improve image delivery
582 KiB3 images could be 582 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
153.43.20.73 adds 0 ms
0 ms153.43.20.73 costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1,005 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (153.43.20.73, 6e83ah6.asia and cloudfront.net and others), adding 1,014 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 68 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 48. 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.

Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 214 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 11.0 s
11.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.695
0.695The layout shifts by 0.695 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s
4.8 sYour largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (6.7 s).
Time to Interactive: 4.8 s
4.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 18 ms
18 msScripts block the page for only 18 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.33 g of CO₂e: 39.7 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: 1.2 MB in 69 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 69 requests on a phone: images 982 KiB (8), scripts 153 KiB (12) and other files 48 KiB (43). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 checks passed
8 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 10 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 8 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex,nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at http://pivot-engineering.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://pivot-engineering.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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
Best practices
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.
1 checks passed
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 0 words
The homepage has only about 0 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
Privacy and tracking
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 pivot-engineering.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
