Speed

7 to fix42
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.5 s · 3.7 MB

    56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 1.2 MB

    About 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 s

    Google 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 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    7 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    The 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Real 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 ms

    Scripts 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).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 138 ms

    138 ms

    Real visitors wait 138 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 765 ms

    765 ms

    Real visitors wait 765 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 37.3 MB in 117 requests

    37.3 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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 to fixGoogle 8792
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 7783
  • 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

    The canonical URL is https://www.tgs.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://www.tgs.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • 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 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 1,016 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,016 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Join the Webcast”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 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.

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