Speed

3 to fix91

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    900 ms · 186 KiB

    37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (186 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 82 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

3 checks passed

  • Mobile performance score: 91

    91/100

    Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 153 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

2 to fix90

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Discover Your True Business Potential Build and Scale Ecomm…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

4 checks passed

  • Time to Interactive: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.3 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.10 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.10 g of CO₂e: 12.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed

  • Page weight: 363 KiB in 42 requests

    363 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 363 KiB in 42 requests on a phone: scripts 163 KiB (20), stylesheets 102 KiB (16) and fonts 67 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8490

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 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 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 24 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10095

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

7 checks passed

  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Smart startups and savvy businesses are building their brands and selling more without spending money today on marketin…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Discover Your True Business Potential”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “RapidCompete - Better Build & Scale Your Business”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and WebPage.

  • 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://rapidcompete.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88

  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://rapidcompete.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 (270 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

Google 100100
2 checks passed

  • No console errors

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71

  • 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.

  • Only about 241 words

    The homepage has only about 241 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed

  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Apply Today”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Apply Today”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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