Speed

6 to fix78
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.7 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    900 ms · 200 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 86). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    762 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 762 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    460 ms · 101 KiB

    About 101 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 33 KiB

    3 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Document request latency

    200 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 200 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google/Doubleclick Ads, cdn-cookieyes.com and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 170 KiB and 42 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 99 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Enter your e-mail and password to login to your ShiftAdmin …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 271 ms to 271 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 51 ms

    51 ms

    Real visitors wait 51 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 528 ms

    528 ms

    Real visitors wait 528 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.6 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.14 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.14 g of CO₂e: 16.2 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: 488 KiB in 37 requests

    488 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 488 KiB in 37 requests on a phone: scripts 173 KiB (11), images 134 KiB (8) and fonts 114 KiB (4). 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

5 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 31 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9284
  • 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 XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.shiftadmin.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 4 internal links

    The homepage links to only 4 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Shift Admin is an automated provider scheduling software that simplifies the schedule creation and department managemen…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Login”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Shift Admin - Scheduling Software that Works”.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.shiftadmin.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.

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.

Other pages

100
  • 2 internal pages checked

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 2 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://stats.g.doubleclick.net/j/__utm.gif?utmwv=5.7.2dc&utms=1&utmn=1019574088&utmhn=www.shiftadmin.co…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix36
  • 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.

  • Only about 48 words

    The homepage has only about 48 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 1 short form

    A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Microsoft Ads (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.

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 shiftadmin.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
