Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 607 KiBAbout 607 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 333 KiB57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 131 KiBAbout 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Hubspot and usemessages.com and others), adding 2.3 MB and 881 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 194 KiB5 images could be 194 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
hsappstatic.net adds 675 ms
675 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 675 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.
Font display
450 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 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 239 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.9 s
12.9 sYour largest element takes 12.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Agent”.
Time to Interactive: 19.5 s
19.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sThe first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 539 ms
539 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 539 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 119 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 119 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (49), fonts 709 KiB (22) and images 282 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Group-1640.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
58 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Group-1640.png at 3,354 px wide, shown at 311 px. Resized copies would save about 58 KiB.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization, Review, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
19 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 19 pages on withlayr.com and 4 external pages.

AI search readiness
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
51%The HTML your server sends has 262 of the 514 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
No llms.txt
There is no https://withlayr.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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Other pages
4 pages without an H1
https://withlayr.com/compensation-disclosure, https://withlayr.com/privacy-policy, https://withlayr.com/cookie-policy and https://withlayr.com/security-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://withlayr.com/schedule-a-demo and https://withlayr.com/partner-with-layr 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.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No form on the homepage

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.
