Speed

4 to fix71
  • Improve image delivery

    4.7 s · 1.3 MB

    7 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 299 KiB

    About 299 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 213 ms

    213 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 532 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics and others), adding 646 KiB and 213 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 396 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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-user FCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    Your largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Real visitors wait 3.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.0 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 94 ms

    94 ms

    Real visitors wait 94 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% faster for real visitors

    -17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 94 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 82 ms

    82 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 82 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.031

    0.031

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.031, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 60 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 60 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (8), scripts 671 KiB (24) and fonts 105 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9675
  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    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)

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

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 checks passed
  • 6 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 9 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 6 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 10053
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 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 (222 characters)

    Your meta description is 222 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://retjg.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

1 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

1 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.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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.

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

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

  • Only about 0 words

    The homepage has only about 0 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 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 swap.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
