Speed

7 to fix79
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 2.3 MB

    59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79 (desktop: 82). 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 (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Facebook and others), adding 1.0 MB and 568 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    430 KiB

    4 images could be 430 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    406 KiB

    About 406 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 400 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 323 ms

    323 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 323 ms of main-thread work and 661 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 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: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 658 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

3 to fix84
  • Speed Index: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “AI ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONAL REDESIGN AI is no longer the…”. Most of its time is resource load duration (6.4 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 111 ms

    111 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 111 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix50
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    tintworld-stacked-mecp-29.png weighs 558 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 89 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 89 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (48), scripts 1.0 MB (19) and fonts 44 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (770 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    128 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example audit-bunda.webp at 1,800 px wide, shown at 344 px. Resized copies would save about 128 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 78 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, 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.

  • 92 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 92 pages on xivic.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Xivic helps enterprise teams automate manual work, modernize software and improve customer journeys through AI, data, d…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AI is no longer the advantage.Operational redesign is.”.

  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “AI Engineering & Operational Redesign | Xivic”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://www.xivic.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description 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://www.xivic.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 (887 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 67 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix70
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 56 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 436 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 436 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start a conversation”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Start a conversation” and “Let’s start a conversation”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 xivic.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
