Reduce unused JavaScript
12.6 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.6 s faster on a phone.
YouTube adds 1.6 s
1.6 sYouTube costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 2.9 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.1 s
A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Shopify and others), adding 3.2 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 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 · 26 KiBAbout 26 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
10 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Total Blocking Time: 521 ms
521 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 521 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 151 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 151 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (58), other files 604 KiB (58) and stylesheets 341 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 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 (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 5 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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
14 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 14 pages on talentprospecting.com and 2 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 154 characters
Your meta description is 154 characters: “We help organisations identify, recognise and retain their top talent. Our mission is to create a positive workplace cu…”.

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://talentprospecting.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://talentprospecting.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://talentprospecting.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://talentprospecting.com/pages/wishlist and https://talentprospecting.com/pages/compare, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
6 pages without a meta description
https://talentprospecting.com/pages/core-values-in-action, https://talentprospecting.com/pages/about, https://talentprospecting.com/pages/case-study-aro, https://talentprospecting.com/blogs/news, https://talentprospecting.com/pages/contact and https://talentprospecting.com/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
https://talentprospecting.com/pages/contact has 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.

Best practices
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
2 small tap targets
2 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading

Browser-reported issues

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 96 words
The homepage has only about 96 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

4 calls to action

Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 talentprospecting.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
