Improve image delivery
881 KiB9 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 KiB42 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 mscloudfront.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 msFontAwesome 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 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 87 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Font display
100 msWeb 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 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
12 KiB12 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.

Mobile performance score: 93
93/100Your 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 6.4 s
6.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe 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 sVisually, 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 sYour 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 36 ms
36 msScripts block the page for only 36 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
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 KiB2 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 gBy 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 MBYour 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
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
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

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

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://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

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No form on the homepage

No risk reducer

About 449 words of copy
The homepage carries about 449 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
