telos.com website review

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Osano CMP and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 482 KiB and 480 ms of main-thread time.

About 194 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

1 image could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).

About 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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 visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 89 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.21 g of CO₂e: 25.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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

5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 174 pages on telos.com and 12 external pages.

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.

There is no https://www.telos.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.

https://www.telos.com/offerings/idvetting has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 69 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

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

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 531 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
