Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 199 KiBAbout 199 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
3,105 HTML elements
The page has 3,105 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 84 KiBAbout 84 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot), adding 352 KiB and 314 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 67 KiB2 images could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 35 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 147 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 550 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 14 ms
14 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.27 g of CO₂e: 31.9 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: 961 KiB in 62 requests
961 KiBYour homepage downloads 961 KiB in 62 requests on a phone: scripts 584 KiB (23), images 203 KiB (25) and stylesheets 104 KiB (11). 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
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 101 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Sedex: Your partner in Ethical and Sustainable Supply Chain Management”.
Meta description is long (194 characters)
Your meta description is 194 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization and VideoObject) but with 1 problem, for example “VideoObject: contentUrl is not an absolute URL ("https://www.sedex.com/app/uploads/media/Sedex Corp…”.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
128 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 128 pages on sedex.com and 11 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Don't just spot supply chain risks – fix them before they become headlines”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.sedex.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://www.sedex.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sedex.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.
3 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,394 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
