startup.network website review

About 594 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (clym-sdk.net, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 967 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 66). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 images could be 422 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

clym-sdk.net costs a phone 493 ms of main-thread work and 804 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 216 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Google CDN costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (241 KiB).

About 38 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.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Real visitors wait 4.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your largest element takes 10.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Sign in/Sign up LOG IN or”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 286 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 136 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.6 s to 4.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 131 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (73), images 780 KiB (29) and fonts 555 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (105 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.

2 images further down the page (143 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is 94 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Investments. Investing and investor. Venture capital investments in startups | startup.ne…”.

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

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 64 pages on startup.network and 18 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

There is no https://startup.network/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.

https://startup.network/all-startups is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://startup.network/ask-for-a-loan, https://startup.network/loans, https://startup.network/sale, https://startup.network/events/add_event, https://startup.network/events and https://startup.network/news/add_news and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://startup.network/all-startups, https://startup.network/funding, https://startup.network/projects-search, https://startup.network/ask-for-a-loan, https://startup.network/sell-business and https://startup.network/events/add_event and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://startup.network/events/add_event and https://startup.network/news/add_news have 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.

https://startup.network/all-startups, https://startup.network/loans, https://startup.network/sale, https://startup.network/en/startups and https://startup.network/en/projects took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://startup.network/upload/iblock/456/3.Group-23.3-en.png.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 464 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
