Speed

5 to fix93
  • Improve image delivery

    881 KiB

    9 images could be 881 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 605 KiB

    42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (605 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cloudfront.net and LinkedIn and others), adding 1.9 MB and 251 ms of main-thread time.

  • cloudfront.net adds 74 ms

    74 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • FontAwesome CDN adds 5 ms

    5 ms

    FontAwesome CDN costs a phone 5 ms of main-thread work and 414 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    250 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 87 KiB

    About 87 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    191 KiB

    About 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 93

    93/100

    Your mobile performance score is 93. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 208 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix97
  • Time to Interactive: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.4 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.

  • Speed Index: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 14 images without width and height

    14 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.

3 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 “Open-source project of Go code to bootstrap your software-a…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 36 ms

    36 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 36 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix73
  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (691 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (734 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    355 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example saas-startup-fullstack-responsive-web-app-golang.png at 2,500 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 355 KiB.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 58 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 58 requests on a phone: images 963 KiB (14), scripts 505 KiB (24) and fonts 410 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8693
  • 9 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 4 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 9296
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 35 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on saasstartupkit.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 80 characters

    Your meta description is 80 characters: “Open-source Golang Startup Kit to bootstrap SaaS with boilerplate code examples.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Golang Startup Kit for SaaS”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Startup Kit for SaaS in Golang”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://saasstartupkit.com/.

  • 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://saasstartupkit.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://saasstartupkit.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 (478 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://saasstartupkit.com/examples/app/projects and https://saasstartupkit.com/examples/api/documentation use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 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 9 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE.NotSameOrigin”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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: 5 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 449 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 449 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Signup and Auth”, “Get Started” and “Go Signup and Auth for SaaS”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 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 saasstartupkit.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
