Speed

5 to fix72
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 729 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (729 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    460 ms · 130 KiB

    About 130 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

  • JSDelivr CDN adds 313 ms

    313 ms

    JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 548 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, Cloudflare CDN and Roxr Software and others), adding 844 KiB and 359 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 239 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix80
  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Screenshotting the Email Preview pane creates a quick share…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 75 ms

    75 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 75 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 29.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 894 KiB in 32 requests

    894 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 894 KiB in 32 requests on a phone: scripts 600 KiB (10), fonts 227 KiB (5) and stylesheets 42 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 6886
  • 79 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    3 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 28 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 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

2 to fixGoogle 10090
  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “TEKNKL :: Blog”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 82 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 82 pages on teknkl.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 73 characters

    Your meta description is 73 characters: “/* Using, building, and yelling at SaaS platforms. Lots about Marketo. */”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “TEKNKL :: Blog:: Blog”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://blog.teknkl.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://blog.teknkl.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://blog.teknkl.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 (408 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://blog.teknkl.com/author/michael and https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/michael-florin all use the title “Michael Florin - TEKNKL :: Blog”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://blog.teknkl.com/page/2, https://blog.teknkl.com/conditional-per-person-open-tracking-in-marketo, https://blog.teknkl.com/author/michael, https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/cnil, https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/gdpr and https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/tracking-pixel and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 8 pages with very little text

    https://blog.teknkl.com/conditional-per-person-open-tracking-in-marketo, https://blog.teknkl.com/author/michael, https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/cnil, https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/tracking-pixel, https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/opened-email and https://blog.teknkl.com/tag/michael-florin and 2 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 60 small tap targets

    60 of 78 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “fn is not a function”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 394 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 394 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Subscribe!”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie, 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 teknkl.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
