Speed

6 to fix50
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 16.6 MB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 5.2 MB

    10 images could be 5.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, intellimize.co and cloudfront.net and others), adding 23.8 MB and 321 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 228 ms

    228 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 23.6 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 142 KiB

    About 142 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    About 20 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.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 111 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 508 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix36
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “SAYHAY home compostable biodegradable straw and packaging p…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.729

    0.729

    The layout shifts by 0.729 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

    20 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
  • 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: 118 ms

    118 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 118 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 24.1 MB in 71 requests

    24.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 24.1 MB in 71 requests on a phone: media 16.2 MB (10), images 6.9 MB (22) and fonts 531 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    69a992984c87f2c006f8392e_Untitled design (46)-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    358 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 699d6942d8f16a7c1aef22ea_Untitled design (35).avif at 4,320 px wide, shown at 585 px. Resized copies would save about 358 KiB.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (176 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (48 KiB) is 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.

  • About 6.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.82 g of CO₂e: 818.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9194
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (40 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 55 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 26 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 26 pages on sayhay.net and 7 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 138 characters

    Your meta description is 138 characters: “Certified home-compostable biopolymers from agricultural waste — high-performance, zero-microplastic alternatives to fo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Redefining materials. Rebuilding the future.”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “SAYHAY® | Biodegradable Materials from Agricultural Waste”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (404 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.sayhay.net/llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://www.sayhay.net/who-we-are, https://www.sayhay.net/partner and https://www.sayhay.net/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 internal pages checked

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 6 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10092
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 526 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 526 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact Us” and “CONTACT US”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 customer or partner logos and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Fathom.

  • 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 Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 sayhay.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
