Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 550 KiBAbout 550 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, Intercom and Google CDN and others), adding 1.4 MB and 859 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
website-files.com adds 316 ms
316 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 316 ms of main-thread work and 589 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google CDN adds 125 ms
125 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 199 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s
7.9 sYour largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Synk.to inventory of SaaS and OAuth apps found in Google Wo…”.
Time to Interactive: 11.8 s
11.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 338 ms
338 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 338 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.107
0.107The layout shifts by 0.107 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Speed Index: 3.3 s
3.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 55.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 60 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 60 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (29), fonts 448 KiB (4) and images 51 KiB (12). That is a lean page.
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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Interactive controls must not be nested (9 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 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.

7 checks passed

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://synk.to/llms.txt (4 KiB, 21 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages

1 page with very little text

Content and conversion

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