Speed

11 to fix48
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    18.1 s · 8.7 MB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    10.3 s · 1.9 MB

    About 1.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    7.5 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.5 s.

  • Font display

    3.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.8 s · 318 KiB

    About 318 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 57). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.5 MB

    16 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    750 ms · 99 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 99 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (amap.com and Baidu Analytics), adding 293 KiB and 640 ms of main-thread time.

  • amap.com adds 587 ms

    587 ms

    amap.com costs a phone 587 ms of main-thread work and 281 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    8 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix59
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.4 s

    22.4 s

    Your largest element takes 22.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “白天鹅宾馆地理位置得天独厚,置身于充满历史色彩的沙面,揽白鹅潭优雅而从容的江岸线。特具意韵的岭南庭院式设计与沙面的幽雅…”. Most of its time is element render delay (11.0 s).

  • Speed Index: 30.5 s

    30.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 30.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 39.4 s

    39.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 39.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 314 ms

    314 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 314 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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: 0.044

    0.044

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.044, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 9.1 MB in 60 requests

    9.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.1 MB in 60 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (30), scripts 3.0 MB (16) and fonts 1,004 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (302 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (428 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.

  • About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.59 g of CO₂e: 310.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7785
  • Images must have alternative text (3 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <object> elements must have alternative text (1 element)

    <object> elements must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 28 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8572
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (29 characters)

    Your title is only 29 characters: “白天鹅宾馆 | 位于广州历史中心的标志性五星级城市度假酒店”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

    Your meta description is 137 characters: “White Swan Hotel Guangzhou on Shamian Island - iconic five-star city-resort with Michelin-starred Cantonese dining and …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.whiteswanhotel.com/.

  • 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.whiteswanhotel.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://whiteswanhotel.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.

1 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.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7387
  • Deprecated browser APIs

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

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • No call to action on the first screen

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

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 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 30 words

    The homepage has only about 30 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 whiteswanhotel.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
