Speed

14 to fix24
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 1,007 KiB

    About 1,007 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 689 KiB

    66 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (689 KiB).

  • Hotjar adds 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Hotjar costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 251 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Main-thread work: 12.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 24

    24/100

    Your mobile performance score is 24 (desktop: 37). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, hsappstatic.net and Facebook and others), adding 1.8 MB and 3.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 2.9 MB

    10 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 642 ms

    642 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 642 ms of main-thread work and 695 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.

  • Facebook adds 510 ms

    510 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 510 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 469 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 344 ms

    344 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 344 ms of main-thread work and 365 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.

  • GitHub adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    GitHub costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 76 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.

  • 2,564 HTML elements

    The page has 2,564 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    42 KiB

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

  • 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: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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 FCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 45.0 s

    45.0 s

    Your largest element takes 45.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 46.1 s

    46.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 46.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors

    +33%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 158 ms to 222 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 31 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.112

    0.112

    The layout shifts by 0.112 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.6 s to 3.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 148 ms

    148 ms

    Real visitors wait 148 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

    0.07

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.07 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 632 ms

    632 ms

    Real visitors wait 632 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 11.3 MB in 301 requests

    11.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.3 MB in 301 requests on a phone: other files 4.3 MB (141), images 3.9 MB (42) and scripts 2.5 MB (99). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    63 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6a9b4555d3f28dbe5cdbe386_home-hero-screen.avif at 1,344 px wide, shown at 337 px. Resized copies would save about 63 KiB.

  • About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.19 g of CO₂e: 383.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (6 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Stop Getting Lost in the Inbox.”, “Time to: Put SMS to Work, Meet Them by Text, Buil…” and “Performance SMS for GTM Teams”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization, Service and SoftwareApplication) but with 1 problem, for example “Service: missing name”.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 105 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 105 pages on textus.com and 16 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Your leads ignore calls and emails. TextUs gets them to reply with two-way business texting that works in your CRM, so …”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “TextUs | Business Texting for Revenue Teams”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://textus.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://textus.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; logo would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (4,033 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /use-case/sales-outreach has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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 a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=145000352&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=3ac6a20b-fdd6-405a-bba7-2862359cc89b&bo=1&sid=9551caf0cc9a11f188639b9a6087d8a8&vid=955211f0cc9a11f1adc6691b35a363d2&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (textus.com).

  • Valid certificate (43 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for textus.com and is valid for another 43 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://textus.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    textus.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    textus.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    textus.com was registered in Apr 1999 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    textus.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 1,163 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,163 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Talk to Sales” and “See Pricing”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Click here to download”, “Pricing” and “Book a Demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos, a star rating and 11 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be textus.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:stspg-customer.com include:_spf.sendergen.com include:_spf.salesforce.com includ…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 57 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 57 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
