Speed
Main-thread work: 39.0 s
A phone's processor spends 39.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 274 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
4.4 MB7 images could be 4.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 768 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, dev0studio.com and producthunt.com), adding 15 KiB and 12 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 1 ms

Core Web Vitals
Total Blocking Time: 30.4 s
30.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 30.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 40.3 s
40.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 40.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 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.
3 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sThe first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sYour largest element renders in 0.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “I built this little tool to create copyright free gradients…”.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.0 MB in 26 requests
10.0 MBYour homepage downloads 10.0 MB in 26 requests on a phone: media 5.2 MB (1), images 4.6 MB (9) and scripts 156 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images over 500 KB
6 images weigh 4.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
6 images far larger than shown
3.6 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 219b842f-511d-4c9a-9366-a28799fb99ee.png at 1,920 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 3.6 MB.
6 images in older formats
6 images (4.6 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (2.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.85 g of CO₂e: 341.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Interactive controls must not be nested (4 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (72 characters)
Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Beautiful Backgrounds for Websites and Applications | Gradient Generator”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (231 characters)
Your meta description is 231 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
7 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 7 pages on whobal.com and 4 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Generate Custom Gradients in Seconds”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://whobal.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://whobal.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
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
13 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 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 50 words
The homepage has only about 50 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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe for Video Export”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Subscribe for Video Export”.
Analytics in place

Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie, 1 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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 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 whobal.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
