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
7.8 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 820 KiBAbout 820 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
3.9 s · 830 KiBAbout 830 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.6 s · 712 KiB48 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (712 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, reddit and powerrobotflower.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 811 ms
811 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 811 ms of main-thread work and 1,002 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.
reddit adds 564 ms
564 msreddit costs a phone 564 ms of main-thread work and 26 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.
Document request latency
408 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
259 KiB3 images could be 259 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.
First Contentful Paint: 16.6 s
16.6 sThe first text or image appears after 16.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 28.1 s
28.1 sYour largest element takes 28.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This website uses cookies and similar technologies to colle…”.
Speed Index: 16.6 s
16.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 16.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 30.5 s

Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.6 s
1.6 sReal visitors wait 1.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 380 ms
380 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 380 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 301 ms to 297 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 3.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

136 msReal visitors wait 136 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 191 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 191 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (66), stylesheets 864 KiB (5) and HTML 615 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.1 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
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 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: 45 passed and 2 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.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
344 internal links, 37 external
The homepage links to 344 pages on segment.com and 37 external pages.
6 checks passed

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=30006288&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=960d2bd7-a2d7-4098-a59d-a96591ea9491&bo=3&sid=31931390d11411f18192377260b94757&vid=31932610d11411f19cd0c9fe5805cd77&vids=0&msclkid=N&pi=91.
6 small tap targets
6 of 16 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.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://jobs.twilio.com/.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (twilio.com).
Valid certificate (138 days left)

http:// redirects to https
http://segment.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 60 links work
All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
twilio.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
twilio.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 18 years old
18 yearstwilio.com was registered in Oct 2007 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2028
twilio.com is registered until Oct 2028.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
About 402 words of copy
The homepage carries about 402 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start for free”.

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject

DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click).
