Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix64
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 636 KiB

    About 636 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 183 ms

    183 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 183 ms of main-thread work and 311 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 (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Hubspot and others), adding 577 KiB and 383 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    170 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    135 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    54 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Your largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.3 s

    17.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 182 ms

    182 ms

    Real visitors wait 182 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.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 228 ms to 177 ms 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).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 113 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 113 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (43), fonts 827 KiB (6) and images 387 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    image 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).

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 67 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100

    The homepage links to 85 pages on plane.so and 30 external pages.

8 checks passed

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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,216 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (15 KiB, 124 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page with very little text

    /talk-to-sales 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only amazontrust.com, letsencrypt.org, digicert.com and comodoca.com to issue certificates for plane.so, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 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 1,214 words of copy

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Plausible.

Email authentication

90

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click).
