Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.4 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 6.4 MB and 948 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 49). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 173 KiBAbout 173 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.
Squarespace adds 481 ms
481 msSquarespace costs a phone 481 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 122 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 122 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.9 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.
Google CDN adds 253 ms
253 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 253 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 42 KiB2 images could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 23.7 s
23.7 sYour largest element takes 23.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Select “Accept all” to agree to our use of cookies and simi…”.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.9 MB in 110 requests
6.9 MBYour homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 110 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (13), scripts 2.2 MB (67) and other files 351 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.94 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.94 g of CO₂e: 233.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699dcc369b4fb31d003…”.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
74 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 74 pages on true.global and 2 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 126 characters
Your meta description is 126 characters: “True is a London-based venture capital & private equity firm reimagining how we invest, innovate and grow consumer busi…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We’re reimagining business…”.
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “True | Reimagining Business Through Advisory and Investment”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.true.global/.
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://www.true.global/sitemap.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://www.true.global/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 (935 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.true.global/people and https://www.true.global/about all use the title “Meet the Team | Investment & Advisory Experts — True”. 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://www.true.global/people and https://www.true.global/about use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.true.global/about, whose canonical is https://www.true.global/people. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.true.global/people and https://www.true.global/about have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 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 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 798 words of copy
The homepage carries about 798 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
9 calls to action

Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and 4 trust badges.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
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.
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 true.global, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
