Speed

8 to fix56
  • Improve image delivery

    10.3 s · 5.8 MB

    6 images could be 5.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    5.3 s

    32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.3 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.4 s · 421 KiB

    About 421 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    940 ms · 212 KiB

    About 212 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 940 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 715 KiB and 570 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    500 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (250 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    160 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 520 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

6 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    Your largest element takes 17.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We ask the big what if, what now and what next questions th…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 218 ms

    218 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 218 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 7.6 MB in 69 requests

    7.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.6 MB in 69 requests on a phone: images 6.0 MB (12), scripts 605 KiB (20) and fonts 573 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images over 500 KB

    6 images weigh 6.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    2.2 MB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example what-if-millicano.png at 1,201 px wide, shown at 321 px. Resized copies would save about 2.2 MB.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (6.0 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (4.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.16 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.16 g of CO₂e: 259.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 7490
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 9 images without alt text

    9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 6 links without text

    6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 34 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8575
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “?What If! Innovation”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“We ask the big what if, what now and what next qu…”, “Building Growth Futures” and “Leading Growth Cultures”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 33 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 33 pages on whatifinnovation.com and 11 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://whatifinnovation.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://whatifinnovation.com/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 contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://whatifinnovation.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.

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

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://whatifinnovation.com/careers, https://whatifinnovation.com/case_studies/anheuser-busch-inbev, https://whatifinnovation.com/case_studies/millicano and https://whatifinnovation.com/case_studies/steinway-sons have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://whatifinnovation.com/appraoch/futures, whose canonical is https://whatifinnovation.com/approach/futures. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://whatifinnovation.com/work, https://whatifinnovation.com/people-page and https://whatifinnovation.com/blog have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://whatifinnovation.com/work, https://whatifinnovation.com/people-page and https://whatifinnovation.com/careers 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.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix67
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a map 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.

  • Only about 183 words

    The homepage has only about 183 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “GET IN TOUCH”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get in touch” and “Subscribe”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (5 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Mixpanel (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 whatifinnovation.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
