Speed
Render-blocking requests
900 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 900 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 338 ms
338 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 355 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and transperfect.com and others), adding 414 KiB and 352 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
213 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (213 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
149 KiBAbout 149 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
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.
Improve image delivery
4 KiB1 image could be 4 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Mobile performance score: 97
97/100Your mobile performance score is 97. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 291 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 5.1 s
5.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images 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.
5 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.8 s
2.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 137 ms
137 msScripts block the page for only 137 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.049
0.049The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.049, good is under 0.1).
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sYour largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Looking for Translations.com? You’re in the right place–Tra…”.
Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.17 g of CO₂e: 20.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 628 KiB in 12 requests
628 KiBYour homepage downloads 628 KiB in 12 requests on a phone: scripts 377 KiB (3), images 213 KiB (3) and stylesheets 34 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
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
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
17 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 18 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://translations.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at translations.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 1 internal link
The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
Title: 41 characters
Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Translations.com | A TransPerfect Company”.
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://translations.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.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.transperfect.com/themes/custom/droopler_subtheme/TPlogo-01.png.
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
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 48 words
The homepage has only about 48 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact an Expert”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact an Expert”.
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.
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 translations.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
