Speed
Render-blocking requests
350 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 350 ms.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
60 KiB2 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
13 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (lmsqueezy.com, kldzj.dev and proofpop.io and others), adding 24 KiB and 8 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Mobile performance score: 100
100/100Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 270 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 4.3 s
4.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.3 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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sYour largest element renders in 1.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Ship Your SaaS by Thursday. Skip the Boilerplate.”.
Total Blocking Time: 26 ms
26 msScripts block the page for only 26 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
2 images in older formats
2 images (256 KiB) are 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 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.22 g of CO₂e: 26.4 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: 796 KiB in 44 requests
796 KiBYour homepage downloads 796 KiB in 44 requests on a phone: images 446 KiB (12), scripts 222 KiB (21) and fonts 87 KiB (2). 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
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (5 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
20 text elements with low contrast
20 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 (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://staarter.dev/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at staarter.dev/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
10 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 10 pages on staarter.dev and 9 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 104 characters
Your meta description is 104 characters: “Set up the foundation of your SaaS with staarter.dev, and focus on innovating rather than boilerplating.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Ship Your SaaS by Tuesday. Skip the Boilerplate.”.
Title: 44 characters
Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “staarter.dev - The ultimate SaaS starter kit”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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 https://staarter.dev/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 (1,478 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://staarter.dev/changelog, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
3 pages share a meta description
https://staarter.dev/imprint, https://staarter.dev/terms and https://staarter.dev/privacy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 pages without an H1
https://staarter.dev/imprint, https://staarter.dev/terms and https://staarter.dev/privacy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://staarter.dev/imprint has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
5 internal pages checked
We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

10 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 1,325 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,325 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Direct contact links

Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 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

Security, domain, email and software versions
