Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 1.2 MB56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 9.5 MB and 342 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
956 KiB13 images could be 956 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Vimeo adds 0 ms
0 msVimeo costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 9.2 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.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 565 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Innovative aviation and high-integrity electronic solutions…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.9 s).
Speed Index: 5.6 s
5.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.0 s
6.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.6 s to 3.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Total Blocking Time: 194 ms
194 msScripts block the page for only 194 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.086
0.086The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.086, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.3 MB in 70 requests
11.3 MBYour homepage downloads 11.3 MB in 70 requests on a phone: media 9.2 MB (1), images 1.6 MB (30) and scripts 405 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (493 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.
1 image far larger than shown
47 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example RNZAF_Crest.svg-282x300.png at 282 px wide, shown at 56 px. Resized copies would save about 47 KiB.
About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit
3.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.21 g of CO₂e: 385.1 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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
25 text elements with low contrast
25 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Positive tabindex
5 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail 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.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (21 characters)
Your title is only 21 characters: “Thomas Global Systems”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
17 links with vague text
17 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
126 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 126 pages on thomas-global.com and 3 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 119 characters
Your meta description is 119 characters: “Innovative aviation and high-integrity electronic solutions for commercial, defense and government customers worldwide.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Trusted Innovation.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thomas-global.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebSite.
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://thomas-global.com/sitemaps.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://thomas-global.com/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 (1,139 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://thomas-global.com/newsroom, https://thomas-global.com/events and https://thomas-global.com/products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://thomas-global.com/newsroom, whose canonical is https://thomas-global.com/about-us/news. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
