Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB on a phone, 1.5 MB of it images (59%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images in older formats
9 images (1.1 MB) 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.
1 image far larger than shown
121 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example HOEMPAGE_MOBILE_copy_59194b30-431f-44a2-9312-268e90ae0c58.we at 1,556 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 121 KiB.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed

Accessibility
20 tap targets too small
20 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (2 elements)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (28 characters)
Your title is only 28 characters: “Verifying your connection...”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Your connection needs to be verified before you can proceed”.
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://sherpani.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
1 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.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343117693&Ver=2&mid=8fc5c530-e1df-451a-8df0-65b8780108f3&bo=1&sid=cdc270e0d9a711f1843c595511a43f6d&vid=cdc29890d9a711f1b5a96128a749160d&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.
32 small tap targets
32 of 56 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Homepage answers HTTP 429
Your homepage answered with HTTP 429, so visitors and search engines may see an error page.
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
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 827 words of copy
The homepage carries about 827 words of visible text.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Klaviyo, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 sherpani.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
