Live view · interaction off

Speed

10 to fix48
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.6 s · 2.6 MB

    34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.6 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 587 KiB

    About 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 s

    8 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 KiB

    About 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

    48/100

    Your 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 ms

    storylane.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 ms

    website-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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    1 image could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 32.3 s

    32.3 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 369 ms

    369 ms

    Scripts 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.

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 104 ms

    104 ms

    Real visitors wait 104 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 FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 345 ms

    345 ms

    Real visitors wait 345 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 146 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 49% faster for real visitors

    -49%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.067

    0.067

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.067, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 8.2 MB in 147 requests

    8.2 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

5 to fixGoogle 9494
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“The AI-native benefits platform for global enterp…”, “Running benefits shouldn't be this hard.” and “Most benefits platforms weren't built for modern …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 79 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 79 pages on thanksben.com and 11 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Ben is the AI-native employee benefits platform for global enterprises. Run every market from one place, in 140+ countr…”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “AI-Native Employee Benefits Platform for Global Teams | Ben”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.thanksben.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.thanksben.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, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,842 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: <svg> attribute width: Expected length, "currentWidth".”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • 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

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

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.

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (36 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    thanksben.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

    thanksben.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 6 years old

    6 years

    thanksben.com was registered in Nov 2019 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    thanksben.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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

    A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 60 testimonial or review blocks, 14 customer or partner logos and 7 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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.

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

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads FullStory, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 30 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
