Speed

4 to fix80
  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 706 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • 1,554 HTML elements

    The page has 1,554 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    130 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 77 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    35 KiB

    4 images could be 35 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.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix78
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Engineering Digital Products That Transform Businesses”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

  • Speed Index: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.0 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 14 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    myanpa.png weighs 600 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (600 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

    0.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.32 g of CO₂e: 39.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 34 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 34 requests on a phone: images 791 KiB (10), scripts 239 KiB (16) and fonts 91 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 22 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9175
  • 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.

  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

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

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://squadinventive.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at squadinventive.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 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.

  • 76 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 76 pages on squadinventive.com and 13 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Engineering DigitalProducts That TransformBusinesses”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Squad Inventive — Custom Software Development Agency”.

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 /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

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,549 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 16 pages share a title

    /, /company/who-we-are, /our-services, /products, /portfolio and /blog and 10 others all use the title “Squad Inventive — Custom Software Development Agency”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 pages share a meta description

    /company/who-we-are, /our-services, /products, /portfolio, /blog and /contact-us and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • About 1,487 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,487 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start Your Project”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Book Consultation”, “Start Your Project” and “Learn More”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and “50+ Happy Clients”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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.

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