Speed

12 to fix30
  • Improve image delivery

    4.1 s · 2.1 MB

    24 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.4 s

    38 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 MB

    About 2.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • YouTube adds 905 ms

    905 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 905 ms of main-thread work and 2.0 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    591 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (591 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 480 ms

    480 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 480 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 461 ms

    461 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 461 ms of main-thread work and 528 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 CSS

    300 ms · 204 KiB

    About 204 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • tailwindcss.com adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    tailwindcss.com costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 124 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 239 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 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 JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Real visitors wait 5.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.9 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.0 s

    15.0 s

    Your largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “TargetBay: The All-in-One Marketing Suite for eCommerce Gro…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 48.8 s

    48.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 48.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.0 s

    13.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 26% slower for real visitors

    +26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.3 s to 5.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.108

    0.108

    The layout shifts by 0.108 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 26% faster for real visitors

    -26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 289 ms to 239 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • Page weight: 10.1 MB in 231 requests

    10.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 231 requests on a phone: scripts 4.5 MB (75), images 3.4 MB (52) and fonts 1.3 MB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (1.6 MB) are 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    home-banner-changes-new-1-768x348.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (73 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.88 g of CO₂e: 345.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 9091
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 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 (49 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 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 (3 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (2 elements)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 65 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 9 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (810 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Required DOM elements not found. Pricing calculator cannot initialize.”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 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 890 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 890 words of visible text.

5 checks passed

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 39 cookies set on arrival

    39

    Opening the homepage sets 39 cookies, 1 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.

  • 41 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 41 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 targetbay.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
