Core Web Vitals

6 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Real visitors wait 4.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 376 ms

    376 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 55% slower for real visitors

    +55%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 4.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 428 ms to 365 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB on a phone, 72 KiB of it images (4%). That is a lean page.

  • 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

2 to fix98
  • 83 links without text

    83 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fix91
  • Meta description is short (45 characters)

    Your meta description is only 45 characters: “The autonomous stack for every app and agent.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization, Service and SoftwareApplication) but with 1 problem, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

  • 148 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 148 pages on vercel.com and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Agentic Infrastructure”.

  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Agentic Infrastructure - Vercel”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vercel.com/.

  • 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://vercel.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
3 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 25 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix83
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /home all use the title “Agentic Infrastructure - Vercel”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 73 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

1 to fix93
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix69
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 93 words

    The homepage has only about 93 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get your ticket” and “Talk to sales”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Download Brand Assets”, “Pricing” and “Get a Demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 customer or partner logos and “over 20,000 companies”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 vercel.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
