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
6.0 s · 1.5 MB84 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.2 s · 927 KiBAbout 927 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 420 KiB7 images could be 420 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 55). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.2 s
A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, chilipiper.com and Facebook and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 752 ms
752 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 752 ms of main-thread work and 701 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 · 53 KiBAbout 53 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.
chilipiper.com adds 339 ms
339 mschilipiper.com costs a phone 339 ms of main-thread work and 973 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 340 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,754 HTML elements
The page has 1,754 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 38 KiB38 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 174 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 174 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (82), images 587 KiB (18) and other files 291 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (379 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (379 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.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.5 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
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
33 text elements with low contrast
33 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (70 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 70 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (4 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Article, ImageObject, LocalBusiness and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Other pages
1 page without a meta description

2 pages without an H1
https://www.valant.io/mlogin and https://www.valant.io/clinical-care/ai-notes-assist have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
