Render-blocking requests
1.7 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 63 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (63 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
170 ms · 18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 21 KiB1 image could be 21 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Analytics, Cloudflare and cloudflareinsights.com), adding 29 KiB and 36 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Mobile performance score: 91
91/100Your mobile performance score is 91 (desktop: 100). That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 67 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 content (LCP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 854 ms
854 msReal visitors wait 854 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sYour largest element takes 3.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SmartInmate™ by Smart Communications connects family and fr…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.3 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 75 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.04 g of CO₂ per visit
0.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.04 g of CO₂e: 4.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 148 KiB in 14 requests
148 KiBYour homepage downloads 148 KiB in 14 requests on a phone: scripts 77 KiB (6), images 26 KiB (2) and stylesheets 22 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
30 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 31 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.smartinmate.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at smartinmate.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
29 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 29 pages on smartinmate.com and 0 external pages.
1 checks passed
Title: 56 characters
Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “SmartInmate™ - Corrections Communications Services”.
AI search readiness
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 /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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/how-it-works-phones.cfm, /how-it-works-trust.cfm, /how-it-works-messaging.cfm, /how-it-works-visitation.cfm, /how-it-works-photos.cfm and /faq-general.cfm and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
10 pages without an H1
/how-it-works-phones.cfm, /how-it-works-trust.cfm, /how-it-works-messaging.cfm, /how-it-works-visitation.cfm, /how-it-works-photos.cfm and /faq-general.cfm and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
10 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

1 checks passed

Content and conversion
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.
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.
Only about 37 words
The homepage has only about 37 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
2 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Sign Up”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 smartinmate.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
