Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Main-thread work: 6.0 s
A phone's processor spends 6.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 331 ms
331 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 331 ms of main-thread work and 506 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, Marketo and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 613 KiB and 338 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
208 KiBAbout 208 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
55 KiB5 images could be 55 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
38 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (38 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Speed Index: 4.9 s
4.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (65 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 47.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 65 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 65 requests on a phone: scripts 660 KiB (13), images 500 KiB (31) and fonts 201 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
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
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links must have discernible text (2 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
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.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6, h2 → h6 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 43 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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (Service and WebPage) but with 2 problems, for example “Service: missing name”.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
128 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 128 pages on trustarc.com and 9 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 146 characters
Your meta description is 146 characters: “TrustArc bridges the gap between privacy and data for deeper insights, broader access, and continuous compliance. Conta…”.

Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://trustarc.com/sitemap_index.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://trustarc.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 (1,355 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://trustarc.com/rfp-template-contact has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.
10 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
