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
2.6 s · 2.6 MB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.6 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 587 KiBAbout 587 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.6 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 152 KiBAbout 152 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. 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 (JSDelivr CDN, storylane.io and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 7.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
storylane.io adds 192 ms
192 msstorylane.io costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 5.0 MB 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.
website-files.com adds 145 ms
145 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 145 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 MB 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,271 HTML elements
The page has 2,271 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
42 KiB1 image could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 32.3 s
32.3 sYour largest element takes 32.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 32.8 s
32.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 32.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s
5.0 sThe first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.4 s
9.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 369 ms
369 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 369 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.067
0.067The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.067, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.2 MB in 147 requests
8.2 MBYour homepage downloads 8.2 MB in 147 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (35), media 2.1 MB (1) and scripts 1.7 MB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
69fe29c61174577a74cc568e_first hero v3 bg mobile-p-500.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.33 g of CO₂e: 280.1 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 are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
18 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 63 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
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

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (thanksben.com).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for thanksben.com and is valid for another 68 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://thanksben.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.

Registered until Nov 2027
thanksben.com is registered until Nov 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,448 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,448 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Looking for a new career? Get in touch” and “Book a demo”.
1 short form

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
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:amazonses.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:6629053.spf10.hubspotemail.net ~a…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
