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
8.7 s · 4.7 MB38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
5.9 s · 3.5 MB8 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.4 s · 532 KiBAbout 532 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.6 s
A phone's processor spends 6.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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, Vimeo and Hubspot and others), adding 17.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 322 ms
322 msVimeo costs a phone 322 ms of main-thread work and 16.7 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 757 ms
757 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 757 ms of main-thread work and 505 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
490 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 490 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
500 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 379 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
20 KiB20 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 31.4 s
31.4 sYour largest element takes 31.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve p…”.
Speed Index: 17.8 s
17.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 17.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 32.3 s
32.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 32.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s
1.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors
+17%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 83 ms to 101 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
5 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 103 ms
103 msReal visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 1.5 s
1.5 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.098
0.098The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.098, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 22.0 MB in 96 requests
22.0 MBYour homepage downloads 22.0 MB in 96 requests on a phone: other files 16.2 MB (41), images 4.4 MB (24) and scripts 1.2 MB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 3.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
11 images in older formats
11 images (4.2 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.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (3.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 6.2 g of CO₂ per visit
6.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.23 g of CO₂e: 747.0 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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Home - VCCP”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
37 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on vccp.com and 4 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “At VCCP, our challenger attitude transforms the fortunes of our clients. For example, we helped O2 become market leader…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “What's new at VCCP”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.vccp.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: 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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.vccp.com/sitemap.xml.
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.vccp.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 (202 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.vccp.com/global-work and https://www.vccp.com/careers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
https://www.vccp.com/careers 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.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.vccp.com/work/white-claw/grab-life-by-the-claw took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
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
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
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 “e.getAttribute is not a function https://www.vccp.com/wp-content/themes/vccp-theme/js/lib.js?v=3-0-14:122:21 NodeList.f…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
18 of 21 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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 212 words
The homepage has only about 212 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.
4 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact any of our offices”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 3 email links.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
28 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 28 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
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at vccp.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
