Speed

9 to fix52
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 630 KiB

    36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (630 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 521 KiB

    About 521 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • 3,205 HTML elements

    The page has 3,205 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and cdnpk.net and others), adding 914 KiB and 696 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 263 KiB

    10 images could be 263 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 309 ms

    309 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 351 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

    300 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    19 KiB

    About 19 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Your largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 278 ms

    278 ms

    Real visitors wait 278 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 349 ms

    349 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 349 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 234 ms to 231 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • 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: 0.063

    0.063

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.063, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 69 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 69 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (24), fonts 457 KiB (5) and images 448 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    botanical-aesthetic1766764347-thumb.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (73 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.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.9 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

8 to fixGoogle 8689
  • 23 buttons without a name

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (18 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 23 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 27 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 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
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No XML sitemap

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

  • 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.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 333 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 333 pages on slidesgo.com and 19 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 122 characters

    Your meta description is 122 characters: “Discover the best Google Slides themes and PowerPoint templates you can use in your presentations - 100% Free for any u…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Build your next presentation”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Free Google Slides themes and Powerpoint templates | Slidesgo”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://slidesgo.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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 (2,384 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 135 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    38 of 44 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 657 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 657 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Pricing”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Pricing” and “Contact”.

  • 22 short forms

    22 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, PostHog and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 slidesgo.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
