webexpenses.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.3 s54 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 374 KiBAbout 374 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 80). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.5 s
A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,498 HTML elements
The page has 4,498 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and jQuery CDN and others), adding 942 KiB and 805 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 227 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 499 ms
499 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 499 ms of main-thread work and 529 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.
Improve image delivery
528 KiB19 images could be 528 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 234 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 80 but mobile only 42. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 208 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 208 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (64), images 1.2 MB (65) and stylesheets 155 KiB (50). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Webexpenses-Platform-e1768921720680.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images far larger than shown
97 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example cpd-2026-1.png at 390 px wide, shown at 79 px. Resized copies would save about 97 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (107 KiB) 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 (183 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (33 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 33 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 103 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://webexpenses.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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 (webexpenses.com).
Valid certificate (37 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for webexpenses.com and is valid for another 37 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 53 links work
All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
webexpenses.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
3 checks passed

Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Mar 2027
webexpenses.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,325 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,325 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
