Speed

10 to fix74
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 614 KiB

    About 614 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 552 ms

    552 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 552 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.

  • Google CDN adds 505 ms

    505 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 505 ms of main-thread work and 743 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

    150 ms · 417 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (417 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    379 KiB

    1 image could be 379 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 270 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    51 KiB

    About 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Document request latency

    50 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 232 ms

    232 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 232 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix76
  • Time to Interactive: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 733 ms

    733 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 733 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Your largest element takes 2.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Thingbook is the platform that powers DriftMind, an autonom…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.1 s).

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 32 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 32 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (12), images 384 KiB (3) and other files 356 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    363 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example logo.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 111 px. Resized copies would save about 363 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (381 KiB) is 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

2 to fix90
  • 17 form fields without a label

    17 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Thingbook – High-Frequency Forecasting & Anomaly Detection on the Edge”.

  • Meta description is long (169 characters)

    Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 10 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 10 pages on thingbook.io and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Training-Free Time-Series Intelligence.Instantly.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://thingbook.io/.

  • 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://thingbook.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://thingbook.io/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.

3 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 description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (850 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://thingbook.io/privacy.html and https://thingbook.io/terms.html all use the title “Privacy & Terms | Thingbook”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://thingbook.io/privacy.html and https://thingbook.io/terms.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://thingbook.io/blog.html, https://thingbook.io/privacy.html, https://thingbook.io/terms.html and https://thingbook.io/legal.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 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 10 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 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix50
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • A 10-field form

    Your longest form asks for 10 fields (10 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • 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 800 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 800 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Try API Now”, “Try CSV X-Ray” and “Try Again”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 thingbook.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
