Speed

10 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

  • Main-thread work: 5.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 9.3 MB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.3 MB).

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 2.9 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, website-files.com and Unpkg and others), adding 10.0 MB and 834 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 224 ms

    224 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 224 ms of main-thread work and 9.6 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    550 ms · 119 KiB

    About 119 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Cookiebot adds 277 ms

    277 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 277 ms of main-thread work and 156 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.

  • 1,551 HTML elements

    The page has 1,551 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    32 KiB

    About 32 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Your largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is element render delay (4.0 s).

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 41% slower for real visitors

    +41%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 84 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 253 ms

    253 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 253 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 15 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 196 ms

    196 ms

    Real visitors wait 196 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: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 420 ms

    420 ms

    Real visitors wait 420 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 10.1 MB in 41 requests

    10.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 41 requests on a phone: media 9.2 MB (4), scripts 476 KiB (17) and images 255 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (41 KiB) is 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.

  • About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.86 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.86 g of CO₂e: 343.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 32 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (52 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 52 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 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: 43 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10085
  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

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

  • 22 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on shiftsmart.com and 0 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “End-to-end frontline management solutions for retail operations. Machine learning forecasting, computer vision verifica…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The operating system for physical execution.”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Shiftsmart: Frontline Management & Retail Execution Platform”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://shiftsmart.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 description; sameAs (social profiles) and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,070 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 8 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/custom-solutions, https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/product-compliance, https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/inventory-backroom-management, https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/cleaning, https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/promotion-pricing-execution and https://shiftsmart.com/solutions/inspections-audits and 2 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://shiftsmart.com/get-in-touch has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 6 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 12 other companies contacted

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

  • No known trackers before consent
