Speed
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 2.2 MB15 images could be 2.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 312 KiBAbout 312 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 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, FontAwesome CDN and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 841 KiB and 635 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 627 ms
627 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 627 ms of main-thread work and 671 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
450 ms · 143 KiBAbout 143 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 240 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 6 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 623 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s
12.6 sYour largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 12.9 s
12.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 367 ms
367 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 367 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 76 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 76 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (28), scripts 762 KiB (27) and stylesheets 127 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
window-texture-scaled.jpg 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (581 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.
2 images far larger than shown
334 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example window-texture-scaled.jpg at 1,707 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 334 KiB.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 29 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,003 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.yagroup.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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 507 words of copy
The homepage carries about 507 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us” and “Register”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Change Order Management”, “Contact Us” and “Register”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 yagroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
