Speed

5 to fix61
  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 536 KiB

    About 536 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 781 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,668 HTML elements

    The page has 1,668 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    3 images could be 36 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Albacross and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 421 KiB and 97 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    13 KiB

    About 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Forced reflow

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 290 ms

    290 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 290 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix62
  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 771 ms

    771 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 771 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Your largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Welcome to the SaaS Blocks 2.0 Directory Don't start from s…”. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.5 s).

  • 18 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.36 g of CO₂e: 43.4 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: 1.3 MB in 77 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 77 requests on a phone: scripts 837 KiB (29), images 212 KiB (26) and HTML 115 KiB (1). 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 8092
  • 15 buttons without a name

    15 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 10 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 89 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is long (95 characters)

    Your title is 95 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Search and discover your favorite building blocks to extend your SaaS application | SaaS …”.

  • 119 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 119 pages on saasblocks.io and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 81 characters

    Your meta description is 81 characters: “Search and discover your favorite building blocks to extend your SaaS application”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Welcome to the SaaS Blocks 2.0 Directory”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://saasblocks.io/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://saasblocks.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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://saasblocks.io/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 (717 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://saasblocks.io/map and https://saasblocks.io/partner/request use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://saasblocks.io/categories/all has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://saasblocks.io/partner/request and https://saasblocks.io/categories/all have 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.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://saasblocks.io/partner/request, https://saasblocks.io/collections/all and https://saasblocks.io/categories/all took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 106 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 18 small tap targets

    18 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “The source list for the Content Security Policy directive 'script-src' contains an invalid source: ''unsafe-dynamic''. …”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

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

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 182 words

    The homepage has only about 182 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.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “GPT-3 Demo” and “Request listing”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: PostHog.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 saasblocks.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
