Render-blocking requests
1.1 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. 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 (website-files.com, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.1 MB and 715 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
264 KiBAbout 264 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
263 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (263 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 209 ms
209 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 357 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.
website-files.com adds 209 ms
209 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
1,932 HTML elements
The page has 1,932 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify CSS
130 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
19 KiB2 images could be 19 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
18 images without width and height
18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.125
0.125The layout shifts by 0.125 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 55.2 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: 1.6 MB in 140 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 140 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (31), images 267 KiB (40) and fonts 196 KiB (4). 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
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
54 form fields without a label
54 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 95 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (71 characters)
Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SaasRise - The #1 SaaS Growth Community for Experienced CEOs & Founders”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (228 characters)
Your meta description is 228 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
50 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 50 pages on saasrise.com and 8 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “SaaS CEO & Founder Community”.
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://www.saasrise.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.saasrise.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 (3,476 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
https://www.saasrise.com/meetups, https://www.saasrise.com/proof, https://www.saasrise.com/saasrise-hall-of-fame, https://www.saasrise.com/growthbot, https://www.saasrise.com/growthresources and https://www.saasrise.com/blog and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.saasrise.com/growthbot and https://www.saasrise.com/growthresources have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion

7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
