Speed

6 to fix75
  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your 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 ms

    1 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 ms

    website-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 ms

    hsappstatic.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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (125 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    123 KiB

    3 images could be 123 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    14 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

2 checks passed
  • 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • Time to Interactive: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.288

    0.288

    The 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 ms

    Scripts 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

3 to fix35
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 69 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your 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 MB

    1 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 g

    By 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

4 to fixGoogle 9094
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 92 characters

    Your meta description is 92 characters: “Sway Finance provides financial SaaS solutions for cash management and automated accounting.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Automated accounting Supercharged.”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Sway Finance - Automated accounting Supercharged.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.swayapp.io/.

  • 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://www.swayapp.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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

4 to fix81
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7797
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • 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

    14 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Try the app”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Sign up” and “Try the app”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 29 testimonial or review blocks, 14 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 swayapp.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
