red-gate.com website review

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 510 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 406 ms of main-thread work and 900 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.

About 70 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Bizible and Marketo and others), adding 972 KiB and 419 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

1 image could be 6 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Putting you in control of your databases Automate with conf…”.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image (217 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Redgate — Database DevOps tools for SQL Server, Oracle & PostgreSQL”.

Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 240 pages on red-gate.com and 20 external pages.

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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 97 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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 768 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (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.
