Speed

5 to fix65
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 566 KiB

    38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (566 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 149 KiB

    About 149 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 84 KiB

    1 image could be 84 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and jQuery CDN and others), adding 483 KiB and 296 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 65. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 615 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    Your largest element takes 14.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By consolidating all your data into a single software, you …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 110 ms

    110 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 110 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix70
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    64b95ebed47b58e50a3de4b7_7bridges platform.svg weighs 2.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 74 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (23), scripts 567 KiB (20) and fonts 300 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.93 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.9 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 9392
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8589
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 45 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on the7bridges.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “Are you looking for supply chain management software? The 7bridges Saas platform offers end-to-end visibility across yo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Because smarter supply chains benefit everyone”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Supply Chain Management Software | 7bridges”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.the7bridges.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.the7bridges.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.the7bridges.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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (849 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.the7bridges.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.the7bridges.com/blog and https://www.the7bridges.com/data-stories have 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 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7797
  • 1 third-party cookie

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

  • Browser-reported issues

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 987 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 987 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Learn more about our platform”, “Learn More” and “Request a demo”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and 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).

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
