Speed

10 to fix73
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 73

    73/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 264 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    263 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (263 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 209 ms

    209 ms

    Google 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 ms

    website-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 KiB

    8 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 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    19 KiB

    2 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.8 s

    11.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 310 ms

    310 ms

    Real visitors wait 310 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real 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

    0.125

    The layout shifts by 0.125 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.06 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 48% faster for real visitors

    -48%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 572 ms to 296 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 47% faster for real visitors

    -47%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.3 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 100 ms

    100 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 100 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.46 g

    By 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 MB

    Your 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

5 to fixGoogle 9394
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 9275
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 6988
  • 4 third-party cookies

    4 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'value') setCountry (https://www.saasrise.com/:1060:27)”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • A 13-field form

    Your longest form asks for 13 fields (13 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.

  • 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 1,573 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,573 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Apply Here to Join Us 🔥”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Membership Pricing”, “Apply to join” and “Apply”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 72 testimonial or review blocks and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Plausible, Mixpanel and LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Mixpanel (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 saasrise.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
