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
Framer CDN adds 1.7 s
1.7 sFramer CDN costs a phone 1.7 s of main-thread work and 4.0 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 463 KiBAbout 463 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.9 s
A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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 (Framer CDN, ContentSquare and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 4.9 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 609 KiB8 images could be 609 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 700 ms.
ContentSquare adds 348 ms
348 msContentSquare costs a phone 348 ms of main-thread work and 185 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
330 KiB62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (330 KiB).
2,615 HTML elements
The page has 2,615 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
smartarget.online adds 124 ms
124 mssmartarget.online costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 295 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 238 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 62 ms
62 msYour server sent the HTML in 62 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s
16.4 sYour largest element takes 16.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero Image”.
Time to Interactive: 22.3 s
22.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.1 s
11.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 207 ms
207 msReal visitors wait 207 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 536 ms
536 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 536 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
12 images without width and height
12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 211 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.079
0.079The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.079, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.0 MB in 185 requests
5.0 MBYour homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 185 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (57), scripts 1.5 MB (97) and fonts 221 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images below the first screen load straight away
14 images further down the page (735 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
22 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example UrQqewjnRWVW1vMmm3dcpF3MF4.svg at 1,219 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 22 KiB.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.43 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 171.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
19 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 form fields without a label
11 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Vertical – Premier Construction and Development Company in Lahore”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“fastest developer of pakistan”, “fastest developer of pakistan” and “fastest developer of pakistan”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
115 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 115 pages on thevertical.pk and 20 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters
Your meta description is 141 characters: “The Vertical, fastest developer of Pakistan, builds corporate offices, business centers & real estate in Lahore. Invest…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thevertical.pk/.
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://thevertical.pk/sitemap.xml.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://thevertical.pk/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 (4,667 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages share a title
https://thevertical.pk/projects/project-183, https://thevertical.pk/projects/v6-business-centre, https://thevertical.pk/projects/the-grand-vertical, https://thevertical.pk/projects/elevation and https://thevertical.pk/projects/94-business-centre all use the title “The Vertical”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages share a meta description
https://thevertical.pk/projects/project-183, https://thevertical.pk/projects/v6-business-centre, https://thevertical.pk/projects/the-grand-vertical, https://thevertical.pk/projects/elevation and https://thevertical.pk/projects/94-business-centre use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Best practices
12 small tap targets
12 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
A 19-field form
Your longest form asks for 19 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 2,300 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,300 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “BOOK YOUR OFFICE”.
10 calls to action
The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Book Your Office” and “Book Your Consultation”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
20 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 thevertical.pk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
