Speed

11 to fix32
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.9 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 750 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (750 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 MB

    13 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Facebook and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 423 ms

    423 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 423 ms of main-thread work and 524 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/Doubleclick Ads adds 376 ms

    376 ms

    Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 376 ms of main-thread work and 666 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.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 353 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,877 HTML elements

    The page has 2,877 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    42 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    31 KiB

    31 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 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: 442 ms

    442 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 442 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix0
  • 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: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Real visitors wait 4.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 24.2 s

    24.2 s

    Your largest element takes 24.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “These are Asia’s most active investors in AI”.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.4 s

    24.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 449 ms

    449 ms

    Real visitors wait 449 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 352 ms to 399 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.4 s to 5.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user TTFB: 791 ms

    791 ms

    Real visitors wait 791 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.094

    0.094

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.094, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 113 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 113 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (27), images 2.1 MB (26) and other files 390 KiB (45). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1775721288_DAILY-SEA-DEALS.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (1.9 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.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.44 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.44 g of CO₂e: 172.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 8486
  • Images must have alternative text (10 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 6 buttons without a name

    6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 40 text elements with low contrast

    40 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 (56 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 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.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo 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.

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

    Document should not have more than one main 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.

1 checks passed
  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8570
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 7 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Tech in Asia - Connecting Asia's startup ecosystem”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.techinasia.com/googlenews.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix58
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 834 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.techinasia.com/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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler

    robots.txt blocks Google-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

1 checks passed
  • 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.

Best practices

Google 100100
  • 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

    56 of 65 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 834 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 834 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SIGN UP” and “SUBSCRIBE”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight.

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, LinkedIn Insight 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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (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.

  • 30 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 30 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 techinasia.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
