Speed

6 to fix69
  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 575 KiB

    16 images could be 575 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 144 KiB

    About 144 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    800 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 800 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 720 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, FontAwesome CDN and Google/Doubleclick Ads), adding 306 KiB and 358 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 155 KiB

    About 155 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

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    Your largest element takes 10.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Talkable MCP lets approved agents work with Talkable using …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 95 ms

    95 ms

    Real visitors wait 95 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 183 ms

    183 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 183 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 107 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 107 requests on a phone: images 1.0 MB (66), fonts 701 KiB (4) and scripts 478 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    162 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example talkable_pride.gif at 250 px wide, shown at 64 px. Resized copies would save about 162 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (170 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (248 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.66 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

    11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 13 images without alt text

    13 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 links without text

    8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8590
  • Meta description is long (220 characters)

    Your meta description is 220 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.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 131 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 131 pages on talkable.com and 14 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We're the Premium, Next-Generation Referral Platform, and We'll Prove It.”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Enterprise Referral Marketing Solutions | Talkable”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.talkable.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.talkable.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,238 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    /lets-talk-referral, /product-updates, /wallet-pass, /integrations/shopify, /integrations/attentive and /case-studies and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 10093
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://talkable.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (talkable.com).

  • Valid certificate (106 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for talkable.com and is valid for another 106 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    talkable.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    talkable.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 26 years old

    26 years

    talkable.com was registered in Jan 2000 through Porkbun LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2028

    talkable.com is registered until Jan 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • 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.

  • 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 887 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 887 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “View our Demo Store”, “Pricing & Plans” and “Demo Store”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (6 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:7620365.spf04.hubspotemail.net include:servers.mcsv.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
