Speed

11 to fix49
  • Framer CDN adds 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Framer 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 KiB

    About 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

    49/100

    Your 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 KiB

    8 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 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 700 ms.

  • ContentSquare adds 348 ms

    348 ms

    ContentSquare 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 KiB

    62 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 ms

    smartarget.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 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 62 ms

    62 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 62 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real 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 ms

    Real 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 536 ms

    536 ms

    Scripts 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 s

    The 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

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.079

    0.079

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.079, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 185 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    2 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 8188
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9284
  • 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

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://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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 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 JavaScript error while loading

    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

3 to fix79
  • 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

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before 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

    7

    Opening 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.
