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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 409 KiBAbout 409 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
12.1 MB52 images could be 12.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Vimeo and others), adding 2.7 MB and 372 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Vimeo adds 44 ms
44 msVimeo costs a phone 44 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.
2,322 HTML elements
The page has 2,322 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google Tag Manager adds 189 ms
189 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
154 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (154 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.
Time to Interactive: 21.0 s
21.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s
7.2 sYour largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The platform for AI-powered engineering”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sThe first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.5 s
6.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.9 s
3.9 sReal visitors wait 3.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 267 ms
267 msReal visitors wait 267 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.19
0.19For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.19 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) got 34% slower for real visitors
+34%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 497 ms
497 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 497 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.161
0.161The layout shifts by 0.161 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Tap response (INP) got 17% faster for real visitors
-17%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 285 ms to 228 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.3 MB in 202 requests
17.3 MBYour homepage downloads 17.3 MB in 202 requests on a phone: images 13.3 MB (90), other files 2.2 MB (63) and scripts 1.5 MB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ifc_cover_e5349cded7_9c05a8b4da.jpg at 3,753 px wide, shown at 302 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
1 image over 500 KB
ifc_cover_e5349cded7_9c05a8b4da.jpg weighs 998 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
40 images in older formats
40 images (11.0 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 (515 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.9 g of CO₂ per visit
4.91 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.91 g of CO₂e: 589.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
5 buttons without a name
5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Hidden but focusable
84 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
40 text elements with low contrast
40 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
80 images without alt text
80 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 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 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
37 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: 37 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (86 characters)
Your title is 86 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “VIKTOR.AI | Automate engineering workflows with AI. Trusted, verified and transparent.”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
17 links with vague text
17 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
74 internal links, 88 external
The homepage links to 74 pages on viktor.ai and 88 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 144 characters
Your meta description is 144 characters: “VIKTOR AI turns engineering challenges into verified solutions, safely and at scale. Used by the world's top engineerin…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The platform for AI-powered engineering”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.viktor.ai/.
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://www.viktor.ai/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.viktor.ai/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 (2,869 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.viktor.ai/apps-gallery, whose canonical is https://www.viktor.ai/apps-gallery/category/all. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

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
74 small tap targets
74 of 233 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
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

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 401 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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 2,763 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,763 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Contact Us” and “Book a demo”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.
22 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 viktor.ai, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
