Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.4 s40 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.4 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 557 KiBAbout 557 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB10 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
880 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 880 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Intercom and Facebook and others), adding 1.0 MB and 590 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
500 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 331 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (331 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 249 ms
249 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 474 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.
1,590 HTML elements
The page has 1,590 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify CSS
130 ms · 20 KiB20 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
22 KiB22 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 750 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s
6.8 sThe first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 18.3 s
18.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.8 s
6.8 sYour largest element takes 6.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Experience the Future of Technology & Innovation Discover c…”.
Speed Index: 8.7 s
8.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
32 images without width and height
32 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 219 ms
219 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 219 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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.03
0.03The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.03, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 171 requests
4.7 MBYour homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 171 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (53), scripts 1.5 MB (62) and fonts 282 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
techspo-conference.jpg weighs 520 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images in older formats
7 images (1.0 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.
9 images below the first screen load straight away
9 images further down the page (795 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
412 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example techspo-conference.jpg at 2,250 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 412 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.33 g of CO₂e: 159.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
12 tap targets too small
12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (70 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 70 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 (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 15 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (100 characters)
Your title is 100 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “TECHSPO NYC 2027 · Technology Expo · April 22-23, 2027 (Internet ~ Mobile ~ AdTech ~ MarT…”.
Meta description is long (317 characters)
Your meta description is 317 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “ld+json block 3 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
13 links crawlers can't follow
13 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
126 internal links, 76 external
The homepage links to 126 pages on techsponyc.com and 76 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Choose your own experience”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://techsponyc.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

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://techsponyc.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://techsponyc.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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,258 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://techsponyc.com/featured-zones, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
2 pages without a meta description
https://techsponyc.com/agenda-2027 and https://techsponyc.com/networking-opportunities 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 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Content and conversion
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
