Speed

4 to fix63
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.8 s

    74 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 MB

    91 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 91 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    44 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    46 KiB

    4 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 465 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 60 ms

    60 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 60 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix50
  • 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Your 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…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Real 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 s

    Visually, 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +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).

3 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: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 7 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    129 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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 MB

    Your 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

5 to fixGoogle 8492
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “SOAL Technologies delivers IT staffing, workforce solutions, and professional services for government and private secto…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Turn Tech Gaps into Teams with Smarter IT Staffing Solutions”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “IT Staffing Solutions in Austin | Top Staffing Agency”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.soaltech.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.soaltech.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.soaltech.com/areas-of-expertise has 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 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • 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>.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    50 of 59 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 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 form on the homepage

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

  • About 1,085 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,085 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: “CONTACT US!” and “Apply Here”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

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 soaltech.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
