Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.6 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s102 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 423 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (423 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Vimeo, hsappstatic.net and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 15.4 MB and 986 ms of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 284 ms
284 msVimeo costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 14.1 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.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 118 KiBAbout 118 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
hsappstatic.net adds 211 ms
211 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 211 ms of main-thread work and 372 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 202 ms
202 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 409 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.
2,127 HTML elements
The page has 2,127 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 109 KiB3 images could be 109 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.
Minify CSS
180 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 23 KiB23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Core Web Vitals
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.

260 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 260 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height

Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 118 ms to 135 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.4 MB in 316 requests
18.4 MBYour homepage downloads 18.4 MB in 316 requests on a phone: other files 12.2 MB (71), scripts 3.1 MB (90) and images 1.9 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.2 g of CO₂ per visit
5.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.21 g of CO₂e: 624.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Article, ImageObject, Organization and Person) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
109 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 109 pages on seedcompany.com and 20 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “Seed Company partners with local translators and churches to bring Scripture to people in their heart language. 2,500+ …”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Seed Company | Bible Translation Partner for All Scripture”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://seedcompany.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://seedcompany.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://seedcompany.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 (4,336 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://seedcompany.com/films, https://seedcompany.com/photos and https://seedcompany.com/story-type/translation-stories have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://seedcompany.com/Purpose, whose canonical is https://seedcompany.com/purpose. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
10 pages without an H1
https://seedcompany.com/Purpose, https://seedcompany.com/regions-of-focus, https://seedcompany.com/history, https://seedcompany.com/brandmark, https://seedcompany.com/process and https://seedcompany.com/methods and 4 others 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 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
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
4 small tap targets
4 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 third-party cookies
4 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'content'”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 159 words
The homepage has only about 159 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
4 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “CONTACT” and “Subscribe”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (7 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, HubSpot and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 2 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.
27 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 seedcompany.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
