One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 364 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (364 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 397 KiBAbout 397 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Improve image delivery
2.1 MB5 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 131 KiBAbout 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and squarespace-cdn.com), adding 3.3 MB and 397 ms of main-thread time.
Squarespace adds 383 ms
383 msSquarespace costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 987 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.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 95 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 95 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 189 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.5 s
8.5 sYour largest element takes 8.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Shizen, Inc.”.
Time to Interactive: 9.9 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed

85 msScripts block the page for only 85 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB

Page weight: 3.4 MB in 59 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 59 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (9), scripts 911 KiB (35) and stylesheets 163 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (50 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Shizen Inc.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603cf64ef4a6a57df7e…”.
11 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 11 pages on shizen.ai and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 124 characters
Your meta description is 124 characters: “Shizen is a technology company building tools and infrastructure to invest and design policy for climate transition fin…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “See the risk others don’t. Price it first.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.shizen.ai/.
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://www.shizen.ai/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.shizen.ai/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
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.shizen.ai/team and https://www.shizen.ai/contact-shizen have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.shizen.ai/team and https://www.shizen.ai/contact-shizen have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.shizen.ai/contact-shizen has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

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.
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 40 words
The homepage has only about 40 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Book a Demo” and “Get in touch”.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent

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