Speed
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, website-files.com and Hubspot and others), adding 3.9 MB and 591 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 900 ms.
website-files.com adds 128 ms
128 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 128 ms of main-thread work and 3.0 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.
hsappstatic.net adds 338 ms
338 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
329 KiBAbout 329 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 246 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
125 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (125 KiB).
Improve image delivery
123 KiB3 images could be 123 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 786 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 11.7 s
11.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.288
0.288The layout shifts by 0.288 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
34 images without width and height
34 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 342 ms
342 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 342 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sYour largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
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.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sThe first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 1.7 s
1.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 69 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 69 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (27), scripts 1.0 MB (20) and stylesheets 87 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
69f456c45767e618084cc3f1_fiduciaire-csd_with_sway_finance.sv weighs 2.4 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
1.5 MB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 69f456c45767e618084cc3f1_fiduciaire-csd_with_sway_finance.sv at 937 px wide, shown at 198 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 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 (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 52 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
30 internal links, 31 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on swayapp.io and 31 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.swayapp.io/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.
3 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (531 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages share a title
/, https://www.swayapp.io/fr and https://www.swayapp.io/de all use the title “Sway Finance - Automated accounting Supercharged.”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.swayapp.io/clients-fiduciaries, https://www.swayapp.io/glossary, https://www.swayapp.io/terms/general-terms, https://www.swayapp.io/terms/privacy-policy and https://www.swayapp.io/terms/cookie-management-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.swayapp.io/fr and https://www.swayapp.io/de use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
8 pages without an H1
https://www.swayapp.io/download, https://www.swayapp.io/faq, https://www.swayapp.io/contact, https://www.swayapp.io/blog, https://www.swayapp.io/glossary and https://www.swayapp.io/release-notes and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.swayapp.io/download and https://www.swayapp.io/jobs 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.

Content and conversion
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.
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.
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 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 513 words of copy
The homepage carries about 513 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
