Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 334 KiB6 images could be 334 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 126 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 105 ms
105 msYour server sent the HTML in 105 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sYour largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Smartlook has joined Cisco!”.
Time to Interactive: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.106
0.106The layout shifts by 0.106 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 178 ms to 185 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Images and page weight
5 images far larger than shown
170 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example img-hp-feature-crashreports-opti2.webp at 1,401 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 170 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (389 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 31.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 937 KiB in 29 requests
937 KiBYour homepage downloads 937 KiB in 29 requests on a phone: images 502 KiB (7), fonts 173 KiB (3) and scripts 156 KiB (12). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
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, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 1 internal link
The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Smartlook has joined Cisco!”.
Title: 35 characters
Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “The Future of Smartlook | Smartlook”.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.smartlook.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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,264 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed

Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
