Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 58.8 MB110 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58.8 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Cookiebot adds 1.0 s
1.0 sCookiebot costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 198 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 80). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts), adding 542 KiB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 782 KiBAbout 782 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 687 ms
687 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 687 ms of main-thread work and 305 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
538 KiBAbout 538 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 524 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
300 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).
2,556 HTML elements
The page has 2,556 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Document request latency
189 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Minify CSS
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 80 but mobile only 35. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 400 ms

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

24.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 24.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.0 s
6.0 sThe first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s
7.2 sYour largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Empowering businesses around the world for more than 150M p…”.
Speed Index: 8.9 s
8.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 3.8 s
3.8 sReal visitors wait 3.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
12 images without width and height

Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 59.6 MB in 123 requests
59.6 MBYour homepage downloads 59.6 MB in 123 requests on a phone: media 55.7 MB (18), scripts 1.8 MB (28) and stylesheets 1.0 MB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (68 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 16.9 g of CO₂ per visit
16.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 16.88 g of CO₂e: 2025.7 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
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
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.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 92 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “SIBS - Partner in Payments”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (185 characters)
Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
206 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 206 pages on sibs.com and 11 external pages.

AI search readiness

No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sibs.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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,373 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

15 pages without an H1
https://www.sibs.com/worldwide, https://www.sibs.com/contact-sibs, https://www.sibs.com/online-payments, https://www.sibs.com/in-and-out-store-payments, https://www.sibs.com/omnichannel-backoffice and https://www.sibs.com/data-and-analytics and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
