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
Improve image delivery
7.2 s · 1.4 MB5 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.0 s · 538 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (538 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 320 KiBAbout 320 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, Google Fonts and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 2.1 MB and 143 ms of main-thread time.
cloudfront.net adds 142 ms
142 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 519 KiB 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.
Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 0 ms
0 msOther Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 215 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 17 KiBAbout 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 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).
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.
Document request latency
5 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s

1.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 14 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 14 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (6), scripts 447 KiB (1) and fonts 112 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
274 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Io1thltAnsj at 735 px wide, shown at 46 px. Resized copies would save about 274 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (282 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 71.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (1 element)
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main 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 main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.

33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “The SaaS Guy - Landing Page”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is short (41 characters)
Your meta description is only 41 characters: “SaaS doesn't have to be a pain in the aaS”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://bit.ly/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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.
1 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.
Best practices
1 small tap target
1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is 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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://d1ayxb9ooonjts.cloudfront.net/bbt2/986ACDF264AE89F25542A5889B71EE5C5077406F.css' f…”.

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 34 words
The homepage has only about 34 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
Privacy and tracking
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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 thesaasguy.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
