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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
33.7 s · 6.8 MB45 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.8 MB).
Improve image delivery
22.6 s · 4.4 MB4 images could be 4.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 22.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.3 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.3 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 534 KiBAbout 534 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 51). 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, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Microsoft Hosted Libs and others), adding 1.1 MB and 924 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 613 ms
613 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 613 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 84 KiBAbout 84 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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 JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user FCP: 6.0 s
6.0 sReal visitors see the first content after 6.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 43.7 s
43.7 sYour largest element takes 43.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Speed Index: 19.6 s
19.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 19.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 43.9 s
43.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 43.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sThe first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 712 ms
712 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 712 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.9 MB in 76 requests
7.9 MBYour homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 76 requests on a phone: images 6.1 MB (14), scripts 1.2 MB (29) and fonts 399 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
intrend-public-site-promo-3.png weighs 4.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
2.1 MB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example intrend-public-site-promo-3.png at 3,840 px wide, shown at 939 px. Resized copies would save about 2.1 MB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (4.6 MB) 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (81 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.24 g of CO₂e: 268.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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.
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.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 5 failed. 1 more 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.
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Home | USLI”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 short (39 characters)
Your meta description is only 39 characters: “USLI, United States Liability Insurance”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.usli.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at usli.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
48 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 48 pages on usli.com and 27 external pages.
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.usli.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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (729 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages share a meta description
https://www.usli.com/policy-services, https://www.usli.com/policyholder-services/help, https://www.usli.com/products, https://www.usli.com/products/commercial, https://www.usli.com/products/hospitality-and-liquor and https://www.usli.com/products/professional and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
13 pages without an H1
https://www.usli.com/products, https://www.usli.com/products/commercial, https://www.usli.com/products/hospitality-and-liquor, https://www.usli.com/products/professional, https://www.usli.com/products/nonprofit and https://www.usli.com/products/individuals and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves

Every page has a meta description
All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.

None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 807 words of copy
The homepage carries about 807 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More” and “LEARN MORE”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner
A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
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 usli.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
