Speed

5 to fix70
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

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

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 184 KiB

    About 184 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    305 KiB

    About 305 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Amplitude Mobile Analytics, Google Tag Manager and wonderpush.com and others), adding 577 KiB and 314 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    20 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 18 KiB

    18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    54 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (54 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    5 KiB

    1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix73
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.353

    0.353

    The layout shifts by 0.353 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.4 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Free credits and discounts on the software your team needs.”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 125 ms

    125 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 125 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.7 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: 1.4 MB in 128 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 128 requests on a phone: scripts 830 KiB (54), stylesheets 273 KiB (37) and images 135 KiB (19). 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

7 to fixGoogle 8590
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (8 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (51 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 51 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has 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 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

8 checks passed

AI search readiness

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://saaspathway.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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,082 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 941 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 941 words of visible text.

4 checks passed

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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 saaspathway.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
