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
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 2.0 MB27 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 62). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 403 KiBAbout 403 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ctfassets.net and schibsted.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 175 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
260 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (260 KiB).
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 842 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 284 ms
284 msYour server sent the HTML in 284 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 7.2 s
7.2 sYour largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Web hero background”.
Time to Interactive: 16.5 s
16.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.2 s
8.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s
1.4 sReal visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 127 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.063
0.063The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.063, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s
1.4 sThe first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 66 ms
66 msScripts block the page for only 66 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 91 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 91 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (30), scripts 967 KiB (41) and fonts 336 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images in older formats
11 images (952 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 139.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Alla dina favoritpoddar och ljudböcker”, “Få tillgång med ett Premium-abonnemang” and “Få tillgång med ett Premium-abonnemang”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
75 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 75 pages on podme.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 109 characters
Your meta description is 109 characters: “Lyssna på podcasts helt fritt från reklam. Unika avsnitt och förhandslyssning. Upptäck våra Premium podcasts.”.
Title: 39 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://podme.com/se/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: ItemList and Organization.
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://podme.com/se/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (584 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/se/sok and /se/campaign/okt60 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages with very little text
/se/audiobooks and /se/sok have 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
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 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 538 words of copy
The homepage carries about 538 words of visible text.
1 checks passed

2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

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