Speed
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
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 614 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 msGoogle 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 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (417 KiB).
Improve image delivery
379 KiB1 image could be 379 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 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 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Document request latency
50 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 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.

Server response: 232 ms
232 msYour server sent the HTML in 232 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 13.9 s
13.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 733 ms
733 msScripts 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 sThe 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sYour 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 32 requests
2.4 MBYour 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 KiB1 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 gBy 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
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
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
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 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.

2 checks passed
No console errors

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 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
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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
3Opening 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.
