Speed

7 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 80). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 2.4 MB and 689 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 402 ms

    402 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 673 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.

  • website-files.com adds 258 ms

    258 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    425 KiB

    2 images could be 425 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    341 KiB

    About 341 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    27 KiB

    About 27 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 805 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.3 s

    15.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

  • 74 images without width and height

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Pulley's Cap Table Dashboard preview”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.168

    0.168

    The layout shifts by 0.168 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 277 ms

    277 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 277 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 118 ms

    118 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 538 ms

    538 ms

    Real visitors wait 538 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 68 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 68 requests on a phone: scripts 927 KiB (29), images 803 KiB (18) and other files 460 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8995
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

    14 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 (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes

    Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes (1 element).

  • 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 87 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 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: 41 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 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.

  • 108 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 108 pages on pulley.com and 13 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Manage your cap table with equity management software built to help founders and finance leaders make informed decision…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Manage equity.Make decisions.Get back to work.”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Pulley | Cap table management for founders and finance leaders”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://pulley.com/.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://pulley.com/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://pulley.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.

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 (1,520 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    https://pulley.com/products/cap-table-management/token-cap-tables and https://pulley.com/products/crypto/token-cap-tables all use the title “Token Cap Table Software | Simplify your Crypto Token Operations with…”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    https://pulley.com/products/cap-table-management/equity-cap-tables, https://pulley.com/products/crypto/token-distribution and https://pulley.com/products/capital-transactions/token-distribution use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://pulley.com/products/compliance/crypto-valuations, whose canonical is https://pulley.com/products/fundraising/crypto-valuations. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'querySelector') https://pulley.com/:671:35”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 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 905 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 905 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “PRICING”, “see pricing” and “Learn more about Cap Tables”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 59 testimonial or review blocks and 73 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Heap and LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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