Speed

11 to fix39
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.0 s · 664 KiB

    About 664 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 675 KiB

    2 images could be 675 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 352 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (352 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Wistia, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Wistia adds 652 ms

    652 ms

    Wistia costs a phone 652 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 477 ms

    477 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 59 KiB

    About 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 283 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Your largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.0 s

    19.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 881 ms

    881 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 881 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 986 ms

    986 ms

    Real visitors wait 986 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 92 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 95 ms

    95 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.029

    0.029

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.029, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 95 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 95 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (35), media 1.1 MB (1) and images 860 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (717 KiB) 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 below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (268 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 130.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9997
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 151 internal links, 23 external

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://si-bone.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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (904 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 10 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 “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix69
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 608 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 608 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact a Sales Rep”, “Learn More” and “Sign Up”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) 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 si-bone.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
