Speed

8 to fix63
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.2 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 137 KiB

    About 137 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 80). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    794 KiB

    2 images could be 794 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, cloudfront.net and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 283 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 204 ms

    204 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 48 KiB

    About 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 52 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (52 KiB).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 494 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

5 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Your largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 37 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.013

    0.013

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.013, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 23 ms

    23 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 23 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix53
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    6613b780b13c2ea9074d09b6_Video-cover-2.png weighs 927 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 53 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 53 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (26), scripts 441 KiB (11) and fonts 378 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    664465fe3a4c093aca63bd0b_heor-image.png 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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (1.1 MB) 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.57 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8789
  • 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.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 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.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 50 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 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: 36 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 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.

  • Meta description is long (174 characters)

    Your meta description is 174 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 19 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 19 pages on pollinate.global and 2 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Transforming SMB Banking and Payments”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Digital Experience Platform for Payments & Banking | Pollinate”.

  • 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.pollinate.global/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://www.pollinate.global/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 (537 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 9 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 37 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 428 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 428 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Learn more”, “Download brochure” and “Get in touch.”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
