Speed

1 to fix91
  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 104 KiB

    About 104 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    About 20 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics and others), adding 206 KiB and 104 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    9 KiB

    1 image could be 9 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2 KiB

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

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 91

    91/100

    Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 459 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 30 ms

    30 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 30 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix97
  • Speed Index: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • 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
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.4 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “A universal surface for agents and humans to author changes…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 29 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.16 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.16 g of CO₂e: 19.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 593 KiB in 38 requests

    593 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 593 KiB in 38 requests on a phone: scripts 444 KiB (14), other files 36 KiB (12) and fonts 35 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 8995
  • 15 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    13 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (167 characters)

    Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 54 internal links, 58 external

    The homepage links to 54 pages on stackql.io and 58 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Universal Interfacefor the Agentic Era”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “SQL for cloud infrastructure, SaaS APIs and AI agents | StackQL”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://stackql.io/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, SoftwareApplication, SoftwareSourceCode and WebPage.

  • 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://stackql.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (753 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://stackql.io/llms.txt (74 KiB, 321 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://stackql.io/blog/product, https://stackql.io/blog/providers and https://stackql.io/blog/tutorials have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

Google 100100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 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.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 612 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 612 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “contact StackQL Studios”, “contact us” and “Contact us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 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.

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