stax.com website review

About 703 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

About 304 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

audioeye-services.com costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 298 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. 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 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye-services.com, Google Tag Manager and cdn-website.com and others), adding 2.3 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (412 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 455 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.

cdn-website.com costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 images could be 37 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

24 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 43 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.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Your largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Global Business Consulting Services We Provide Private Equi…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 666 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 132 ms to 186 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 103 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (47), fonts 453 KiB (9) and stylesheets 345 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Grant Thornton Stax: Global Business Consultants | Strategy & Management”.

The homepage links to 142 pages on stax.com and 10 external pages.

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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

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

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.

The homepage carries about 535 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
