prospectorlabs.io website review

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

2 images could be 489 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

posthog.com costs a phone 320 ms of main-thread work and 255 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (posthog.com, Google Fonts and supabase.co and others), adding 290 KiB and 320 ms of main-thread time.

About 141 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 128 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (115 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

18 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

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.

11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example commerce.png at 1,280 px wide, shown at 38 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.

Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 45 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (24), scripts 265 KiB (10) and fonts 124 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

14 images (1.5 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.

14 images further down the page (1.5 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Prospector Labs · Energy Data Platform for Investors, Developers & Analysts”.

Your meta description is 220 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 24 pages on prospectorlabs.io and 6 external pages.

https://www.prospectorlabs.io/contact has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.prospectorlabs.io/contact 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.

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

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 954 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
