Speed

6 to fix41
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 572 KiB

    About 572 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. 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, Unpkg and Hotjar and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 434 ms

    434 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 434 ms of main-thread work and 523 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.

  • Unpkg adds 369 ms

    369 ms

    Unpkg costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 465 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: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    94 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (94 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 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.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.3 s

  • Time to Interactive: 26.3 s

    26.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 611 ms

    611 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 611 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 590 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.4 MB in 124 requests

    6.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 124 requests on a phone: media 2.7 MB (1), images 2.1 MB (15) and scripts 1.4 MB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.80 g of CO₂e: 216.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 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

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (205 characters)

    Your meta description is 205 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 48 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 48 pages on usdm.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AI Built for Life Sciences”.

  • Title: 33 characters

    Your title is a healthy 33 characters: “USDM – AI Built for Life Sciences”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • robots.txt in place

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,113 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.usdm.com/llms.txt (11 KiB, 66 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: “900+ Clients”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 10-field form

    Your longest form asks for 10 fields (9 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 1,015 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,015 words of visible text.

3 checks passed

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions
