userinterviews.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
5.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.4 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.2 s · 765 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (765 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 889 KiBAbout 889 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 234 KiBAbout 234 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 26
26/100Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 43). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,521 HTML elements
The page has 3,521 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Google Tag Manager and hsappstatic.net and others), adding 3.4 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Hubspot adds 489 ms
489 msHubspot costs a phone 489 ms of main-thread work and 403 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 414 ms
414 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 414 ms of main-thread work and 696 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.
website-files.com adds 240 ms
240 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
hsappstatic.net adds 280 ms
280 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 689 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 217 KiB3 images could be 217 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

First Contentful Paint: 13.3 s
13.3 sThe first text or image appears after 13.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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 “Researchers at these companies gain insights faster”.
Time to Interactive: 35.7 s

Speed Index: 13.3 s

Real-user CLS: 0.18
0.18For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.18 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 219 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 955 ms
955 msReal visitors wait 955 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.148
0.148The layout shifts by 0.148 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 264 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 264 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (53), fonts 1.4 MB (52) and images 633 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6806c661aaf6dc339fa4b18b_home-hero-mobile-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
142 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 67fd827739dbfbc2b8b94cb6_f1aa811b32b81144913472917bb67a1d_re at 1,885 px wide, shown at 278 px. Resized copies would save about 142 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (211 KiB) are 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.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 180.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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 111 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
7 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 7 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 7 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (169 characters)
Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
123 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 123 pages on userinterviews.com and 18 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We connect researchers and participants”.

Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “User Interviews | The User Research Recruiting Platform for Teams”.

XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

No llms.txt
There is no /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.
1 checks passed

HSTS enabled

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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No risk reducer

About 991 words of copy
The homepage carries about 991 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Visit the demo center →”, “Sign Up Free” and “Pricing”.

Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:sendgrid.net include:return…”.

Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
