Speed

3 to fix100
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 MB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.7 MB

    7 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    24 KiB

    About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Document request latency

    7 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (fontshare.com), adding 72 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 100

    100/100

    Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

100
  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

6 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “I design both sides of marketplaces: the tools providers ru…”.

  • Speed Index: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.5 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.

Images and page weight

3 to fix63
  • 7 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example cover_bq_vrbo1.png at 1,318 px wide, shown at 308 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (1.9 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (793 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 14 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 14 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (7), fonts 71 KiB (3) and stylesheets 45 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9896
  • 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.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10089
  • 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 long (192 characters)

    Your meta description is 192 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Only 2 internal links

    The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Senior product designer for work where the hard part is the system.”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Vicky Wang — Senior Product Designer, Marketplace + Platform UX”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vickywang.me/.

  • 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://vickywang.me/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://vickywang.me/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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 2 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot and ClaudeBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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 (396 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

Best practices

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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 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 342 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 342 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 1 customer or partner logo.

Privacy and tracking

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