Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.9 s · 1.1 MBAbout 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 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (750 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your 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 MB13 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 msGoogle 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 msGoogle/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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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.

Core Web Vitals
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 sReal 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 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 24.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s
1.8 sScripts 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 449 ms
449 msReal visitors wait 449 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.11
0.11For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal 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 sThe 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).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.094
0.094The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.094, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 113 requests
5.1 MBYour 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 MB5 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 gBy 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
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 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
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
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
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
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
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before 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
13Opening 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.
