Speed

8 to fix46
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8.4 s · 1.5 MB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.1 s · 766 KiB

    About 766 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.1 MB and 831 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 517 ms

    517 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 517 ms of main-thread work and 702 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    340 ms · 20 KiB

    About 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 340 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    11 KiB

    2 images could be 11 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.0 s

    18.0 s

    Your largest element takes 18.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Your teams depend on stable connectivity for collaboration,…”. Most of its time is element render delay (8.5 s).

  • Speed Index: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.1 s

    18.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 55% slower for real visitors

    +55%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 438 ms

    438 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 438 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 238 ms to 289 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 187 ms

    187 ms

    Real visitors wait 187 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 64 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 64 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (17), other files 1.7 MB (28) and images 302 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.18 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 142.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8792
  • 6 buttons without a name

    6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10080
  • 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.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Spectra offers secure, high-speed internet and managed network solutions for enterprises, campuses, and businesses. Ens…”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Spectra: Managed Network Solutions for Businesses”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.spectra.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 1,119 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.spectra.co/llms.txt (10 KiB, 37 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “jQuery is not defined”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 1,119 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,119 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Talk to Our Experts”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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