Speed

2 to fix80
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    290 ms · 86 KiB

    86 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and leadconnectorhq.com and others), adding 603 KiB and 256 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 93 KiB

    About 93 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 91 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (91 KiB).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    19 KiB

    About 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 305 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix89
  • First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Your largest element takes 3.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “You can do the work — that’s why you’re starting the busine…”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.3 s).

  • Time to Interactive: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 13 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.17 g of CO₂e: 20.7 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: 623 KiB in 45 requests

    623 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 623 KiB in 45 requests on a phone: scripts 483 KiB (17), fonts 88 KiB (4) and stylesheets 16 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9798
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://virtualgroup.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,099 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 5 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    /privacy and /terms are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

Google 100100
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.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (virtualgroup.co).

  • Valid certificate (41 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for virtualgroup.co and is valid for another 41 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://virtualgroup.co redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 6 links work

    All 6 links checked from your homepage (3 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    virtualgroup.co has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 1,091 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,091 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get your team →”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Get your team →” and “Request your team”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (6 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 4 phone links and 0 email links.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    virtualgroup.co has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
