Speed

8 to fix79
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    636 KiB

    67 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (636 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    609 KiB

    About 609 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 378 ms

    378 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 807 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 373 ms

    373 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 373 ms of main-thread work and 388 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    162 KiB

    7 images could be 162 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    70 KiB

    About 70 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    37 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 30% slower for real visitors

    +30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 173 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 983 ms

    983 ms

    Real visitors wait 983 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 475 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 180 ms

    180 ms

    Real visitors wait 180 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Reclaim your time. Focus on growth.”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 140 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 140 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (39), images 1.4 MB (34) and fonts 662 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (28 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.7 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

4 to fixGoogle 9094
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 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 → h5, h2 → h5 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 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: 46 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Reclaim your time. Focus on growth.”, “” and “What sets SmartPA apart?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

    4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 62 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 62 pages on smart-pa.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

    Your meta description is 160 characters: “Trusted around the world, SmartPA provides virtual assistant services and outsourced business support helping organisat…”.

  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Virtual Assistant & Virtual PA Services”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://smart-pa.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and VideoObject.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://smart-pa.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://smart-pa.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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (791 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages share 2 titles

    / and https://smart-pa.com/en-us all use the title “Virtual Assistant & Virtual PA Services”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    https://smart-pa.com/en-ae, https://smart-pa.com/en-ch, https://smart-pa.com/en-ie, https://smart-pa.com/en-mt and https://smart-pa.com/en-za use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://smart-pa.com/bg and https://smart-pa.com/ja have 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 44 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 7382
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=52018094&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=d62f7f0e-d8b3-45bb-beeb-162eafc408a3&bo=1&sid=14f89720d44d11f1a12a931b5f90a3a5&vid=14f8f8b0d44d11f18e572baf57467d4b&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 710 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 710 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Call now: 0330 202 1110”, “Join us” and “Contact”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 9 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 40 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) 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 smart-pa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
