Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.5 s · 3.7 MB56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 1.0 s
1.0 sGoogle CDN costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.8 MB 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
1.1 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.8 s
A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and LinkedIn and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 232 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 80 KiBAbout 80 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.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 168 KiB7 images could be 168 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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 FCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 11.7 s
11.7 sThe first text or image appears after 11.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.0 s
15.0 sYour largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Energy Starts With Us”.
Time to Interactive: 19.2 s
19.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.7 s
11.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.9 s
3.9 sReal visitors wait 3.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors
+24%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 117 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 525 ms
525 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 525 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 37.3 MB in 117 requests
37.3 MBYour homepage downloads 37.3 MB in 117 requests on a phone: media 32.8 MB (4), scripts 2.3 MB (35) and images 750 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 10.6 g of CO₂ per visit
10.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 10.56 g of CO₂e: 1267.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Delivering High-Quality Data and Insightsto Power…” and “Gemini X: Encoded for more. Engineered for better…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (234 characters)
Your meta description is 234 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
90 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 90 pages on tgs.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 32 characters
Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “TGS | Energy Data & Intelligence”.
Canonical URL set

AI search readiness
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
59%The HTML your server sends has 603 of the 1,016 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.tgs.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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.

Content and conversion

No direct contact details
