Speed
Improve image delivery
17.9 s · 11.1 MB9 images could be 11.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 17.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 693 KiBAbout 693 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
1.3 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 48). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and OptiMonk and others), adding 1.4 MB and 979 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 233 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (233 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 575 ms
575 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 575 ms of main-thread work and 679 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: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 77 KiBAbout 77 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 193 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.3 MB in 162 requests
15.3 MBYour homepage downloads 15.3 MB in 162 requests on a phone: images 13.2 MB (52), scripts 1.6 MB (54) and fonts 252 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (35 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (35 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.34 g of CO₂e: 521.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 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: 44 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores 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.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
4 links crawlers can't follow
4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
62 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 62 pages on unistellar.com and 24 external pages.
7 checks passed

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.unistellar.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.unistellar.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.unistellar.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.
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (430 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages share a title
https://www.unistellar.com/de, https://www.unistellar.com/ja, https://www.unistellar.com/en-eu and https://www.unistellar.com/en-uk all use the title “Unistellar | Cutting-Edge Smart Telescopes”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.unistellar.com/blog has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.unistellar.com/en-eu and https://www.unistellar.com/en-uk use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
5 pages without an H1
https://www.unistellar.com/fr, https://www.unistellar.com/de, https://www.unistellar.com/ja, https://www.unistellar.com/en-eu and https://www.unistellar.com/en-uk have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.unistellar.com/ja has 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof

No direct contact details

About 351 words of copy
The homepage carries about 351 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.
17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
40 other companies contacted

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