Speed

13 to fix32
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 3.8 MB

    53 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.8 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 3.1 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.0 MB

    18 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    730 ms · 194 KiB

    About 194 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 730 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 600 ms

    600 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 600 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 574 ms

    574 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 574 ms of main-thread work and 550 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Hubspot adds 410 ms

    410 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 410 ms of main-thread work and 466 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.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 313 ms

    313 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 878 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 250 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).

  • 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: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix40
  • First Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Your largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This B2B SaaS edge-to-cloud management platform accelerates…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 25.4 s

    25.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 32 images without width and height

    32 images 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 7.0 MB in 120 requests

    7.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.0 MB in 120 requests on a phone: images 3.4 MB (43), scripts 2.7 MB (30) and fonts 445 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 2.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example private-5G.png at 1,512 px wide, shown at 294 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (2.7 MB) 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.

  • 14 images below the first screen load straight away

    14 images further down the page (2.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.98 g of CO₂e: 237.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7986
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • autocomplete attribute must be used correctly (2 elements)

    autocomplete attribute must be used correctly: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 32 images without alt text

    32 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (58 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 58 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.

  • 18 links without text

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

  • 8 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7580
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 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.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 45 internal links, 24 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on sixsq.com and 24 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Unleash the power of edge computing with Nuvla.io”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “SixSq | Unleash the power of edge computing with Nuvla.io”.

  • 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://sixsq.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://sixsq.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 (636 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://sixsq.com/products, https://sixsq.com/platform, https://sixsq.com/marketplace, https://sixsq.com/nuvlaedge, https://sixsq.com/industries and https://sixsq.com/industries/logistics and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://sixsq.com/videos 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 6 third-party cookies

    6 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 9 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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://assets.calendly.com/assets/external/widget.css' from origin 'https://sixsq.com' ha…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • About 518 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 518 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Download”, “Contact” and “Sign up for Nuvla.io”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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