Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
36.4 s · 5.8 MB43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
14.7 s · 3.1 MBAbout 3.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 14.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 22
22/100Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 26). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.2 s
A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.9 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 156 KiBAbout 156 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ASAPP, Google Tag Manager and medallia.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 516 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
ASAPP adds 296 ms
296 msASAPP costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 776 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 350 ms.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
38 KiB1 image could be 38 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.3 MB in 125 requests
7.3 MBYour homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 125 requests on a phone: scripts 6.4 MB (41), other files 381 KiB (55) and stylesheets 197 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.08 g of CO₂e: 249.8 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
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative (4 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
8 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 11 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 8 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “Spectrum.net”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 119 characters
Your meta description is 119 characters: “Sign in to your Spectrum account for the easiest way to view and pay your bill, watch TV, manage your account and more.”.
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.spectrum.net/sitemap.xml.
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
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Best practices
4 third-party cookies
4 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
3 JavaScript errors while loading

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

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 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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 18 words
The homepage has only about 18 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.
Privacy and tracking
15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 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 spectrum.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
