Speed

10 to fix50
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 607 KiB

    About 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 s

    12 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 KiB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 131 KiB

    About 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

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    700 ms · 194 KiB

    5 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 ms

    hsappstatic.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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix51
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.9 s

    12.9 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 539 ms

    539 ms

    Scripts 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 s

    Visually, 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 119 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    2 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 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Layr is an insurance technology (insurtech) company that provides automation to help brokers and agents provide coverag…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Let us take the painout of small commercial insurance”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Grow Your Broker Profits | Layr Insurance Technology Company”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://withlayr.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://withlayr.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

  • 13 internal pages checked

    We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 13 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 6983
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 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.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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.

  • About 514 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 514 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SCHEDULE A DEMO”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Schedule A Demo”, “schedule a live demo” and “Get a Demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at withlayr.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
