Speed
Improve image delivery
2.3 s · 468 KiB3 images could be 468 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.4 s · 227 KiBAbout 227 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
400 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and cloudfront.net), adding 182 KiB and 179 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 16 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s
12.5 sYour largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “LEADERS IN MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION U.S. Financial Technolog…”.

12.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Total Blocking Time: 168 ms
168 msScripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 47 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 47 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (11), scripts 414 KiB (19) and fonts 258 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.8 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
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “U.S. Financial Technology”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
30 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on usfintech.com and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Leaders in Mortgage Securitization”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.usfintech.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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.usfintech.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description 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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.usfintech.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 (1,126 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.usfintech.com/our-insights, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
12 pages without a meta description
https://www.usfintech.com/careers, https://www.usfintech.com/contact, https://www.usfintech.com/our-approach, https://www.usfintech.com/our-solutions, https://www.usfintech.com/our-company and https://www.usfintech.com/case_study/code-less-deliver-more and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
https://www.usfintech.com/contact 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.
13 internal pages checked

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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 180 words
The homepage has only about 180 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place

2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 usfintech.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
