Speed

14 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 600 KiB

    About 600 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 179 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (179 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    750 ms · 371 KiB

    3 images could be 371 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Cookiebot and Hubspot and others), adding 2.6 MB and 791 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 140 KiB

    About 140 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    550 ms · 138 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 138 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Squarespace adds 389 ms

    389 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 389 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Cookiebot adds 259 ms

    259 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 160 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,112 HTML elements

    The page has 2,112 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • sqspcdn.com adds 66 ms

    66 ms

    sqspcdn.com costs a phone 66 ms of main-thread work and 338 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.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 53 ms

    53 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 53 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Tap response (INP) got 50% slower for real visitors

    +50%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 117 ms to 163 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 203 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.022

    0.022

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.022, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 91 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (58), images 626 KiB (8) and stylesheets 171 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 94.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9597
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6756f918845eb62d352…”.

  • 69 internal links, 2 external

  • Title: 48 characters

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://transfix.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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,025 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://transfix.io/integrations has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

6 checks passed

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 983 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 983 words of visible text.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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 transfix.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
