Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 856 KiBAbout 856 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.1 s
A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Avoid multiple page redirects
755 msThe page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 755 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 406 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
320 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 320 ms faster on a phone.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Largest Contentful Paint: 16.6 s
16.6 sYour largest element takes 16.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.
Time to Interactive: 24.6 s

Total Blocking Time: 859 ms
859 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 859 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 6.5 s

2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.9 MB in 200 requests
4.9 MBYour homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 200 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (38), images 1.7 MB (119) and fonts 671 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.38 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.38 g of CO₂e: 165.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (2 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 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.
1 checks passed
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 4 failed. 1 more 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.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “Very Good Security”. 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.
35 links with vague text
35 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
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.vgs.io/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at vgs.io/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
6 links crawlers can't follow
6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
1%A phone browser shows 992 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 7. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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.vgs.io/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.
1 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.
Best practices
No mobile viewport
No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.
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 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
7 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Content and conversion
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 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.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 992 words of copy
The homepage carries about 992 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Apply to Attend” and “Contact Us”.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 vgs.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
