weareaspire.com website review

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, elay.io and awswaf.com and others), adding 2.6 MB and 784 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 231 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

3 images could be 375 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.

elay.io costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

awswaf.com costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (159 KiB).

16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 232 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Achieving more together.”.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 133 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 573 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

27 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 67 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (18), images 449 KiB (6) and stylesheets 149 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Sales, Marketing & Event Recruitment | Digital & Media Jobs | Aspire”.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

The homepage links to 162 pages on weareaspire.com and 17 external pages.

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.

There is no https://www.weareaspire.com/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.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.weareaspire.com/disciplines/research-insight-and-data, whose canonical is https://www.weareaspire.com/disciplines/research-insight. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://www.weareaspire.com/submit-job-profile, https://www.weareaspire.com/jobs, https://www.weareaspire.com/candidates, https://www.weareaspire.com/employers, https://www.weareaspire.com/insights and https://www.weareaspire.com/branches and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.weareaspire.com/submit-job-profile, https://www.weareaspire.com/jobs, https://www.weareaspire.com/candidates, https://www.weareaspire.com/employers, https://www.weareaspire.com/insights and https://www.weareaspire.com/branches and 9 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

https://www.weareaspire.com/disciplines took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 78 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

19 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,447 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight 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.

Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
