Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.1 s · 548 KiB70 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (548 KiB).
Improve image delivery
2.9 s · 610 KiB5 images could be 610 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 844 KiBAbout 844 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. 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, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.2 MB and 838 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
500 ms · 42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 410 ms
410 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 410 ms of main-thread work and 746 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.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
290 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
52 images without width and height
52 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
stijn-execution.webp weighs 571 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 128 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 128 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (34), images 1.3 MB (53) and fonts 269 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images far larger than shown
290 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example stijn-execution.webp at 1,999 px wide, shown at 600 px. Resized copies would save about 290 KiB.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (458 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
4 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
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.
29 images without alt text
29 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“SAAS CMO-AS-A-SERVICE” and “SENIOR MARKETING LEADERSHIP WITHOUT THE FULL-TIME…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
15 links crawlers can't follow
15 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
57 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on saas-cmo.com and 3 external pages.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) 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://www.kalungi.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 (1,830 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.kalungi.com/services/saas-cmo and https://www.kalungi.com/services/cmo-coaching all use the title “Fractional CMO Agency and CMO-as-a-Service for B2B SaaS | Kalungi”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 1,563 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,563 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Get My Custom GTM Plan”, “Contact Us” and “Get a Custom GTM Plan”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 25 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and a star rating.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
32 cookies set on arrival
32Opening the homepage sets 32 cookies, 12 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
43 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 43 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner
A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
