Render-blocking requests
4.8 s74 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.8 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.8 s · 1.0 MB91 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 91 KiBAbout 91 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
200 ms · 44 KiB44 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN and Unpkg), adding 92 KiB and 51 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
46 KiB4 images could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 99 but mobile only 63. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

60 msYour server sent the HTML in 60 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.
Real-user FCP: 3.3 s
3.3 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors wait 2.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s
7.4 sYour largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “People. Passion. Progress. Turn Tech Gaps into Teams with S…”.

4.8 sThe first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.5 s

Real-user LCP: 3.6 s
3.6 sReal visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
13 images without width and height
13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

+13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 7 ms
7 msScripts block the page for only 7 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
129 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 3-1.png at 1,080 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 129 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (163 KiB) is 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.33 g of CO₂e: 39.6 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: 1.2 MB in 96 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 96 requests on a phone: images 571 KiB (10), scripts 316 KiB (31) and stylesheets 129 KiB (50). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 51 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
137 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 137 pages on soaltech.com and 15 external pages.

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 https://www.soaltech.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 (1,732 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
