Speed

5 to fix68
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 3.9 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.5 MB

    9 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, Google Tag Manager and cloudfront.net and others), adding 4.5 MB and 330 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 4.3 MB 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

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    About 32 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    72 KiB

    About 72 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 58 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 68. 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 342 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Employee Health Trends 2026 Mid-Year Update Get The 202…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 789 ms

    789 ms

    Real visitors wait 789 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 48% faster for real visitors

    -48%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.9 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 2 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix36
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 44 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 44 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (26), fonts 494 KiB (5) and scripts 293 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    669037fae523df330fcd3faa_Springbuk_HomePage_SectionHero.webp weighs 553 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    6981fce189692c1cadf61fbc_Employee Health Trends 2026 Springb is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    318 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 669037fae523df330fcd3faa_Springbuk_HomePage_SectionHero.webp at 1,500 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 318 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (41 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 154.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9284
  • Title is long (72 characters)

    Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Springbuk - Health Data Analytics Software for Employee Benefits Leaders”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 7 links with vague text

    7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 117 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 117 pages on springbuk.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

    Your meta description is 160 characters: “Springbuk is the health data analytics solution that equips employers and consultants with the deep, immediate insights…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Employee Health Trends 2026 Mid-Year Update”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://springbuk.com/sitemap.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.springbuk.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 (839 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.springbuk.com/company/careers and https://www.springbuk.com/company all use the title “Company”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.springbuk.com/company/careers and https://www.springbuk.com/company use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.springbuk.com/company/careers, whose canonical is https://www.springbuk.com/company. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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.

  • 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 561 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 561 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Download The Report” and “Learn More”.

  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Request a Demo”, “Subscribe” and “Download the Report”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Xandr (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

    A consent management tool (Ketch) loads with the page.

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