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
400 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, huble.com and hubspotusercontent-eu1.net and others), adding 1.0 MB and 157 ms of main-thread time.
1,849 HTML elements
The page has 1,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
hubspotusercontent-eu1.net adds 5 ms
5 mshubspotusercontent-eu1.net costs a phone 5 ms of main-thread work and 879 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
171 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (171 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
96 KiBAbout 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.
3 checks passed
Mobile performance score: 95
95/100Your mobile performance score is 95. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 244 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 5.0 s
5.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 89 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.37 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.5 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: 1.3 MB in 28 requests
1.3 MBYour homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 28 requests on a phone: fonts 655 KiB (2), scripts 314 KiB (13) and media 223 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
6 buttons without a name
6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
2 links without text
2 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 skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (10 elements).
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 7 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 (untyped) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected token '/', ..."graph": [ // 1. Orga"... is not va)”.
76 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 76 pages on tsg.com and 6 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.tsg.com/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.tsg.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 (1,066 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

No form on the homepage
