Speed

7 to fix85
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 85

    85/100

    Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 111 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (111 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 172 KiB

    About 172 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    396 KiB

    7 images could be 396 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • svdcdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    svdcdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 427 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, termly.io and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 890 KiB and 242 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 103 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    63 KiB

    About 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Your largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use essential cookies to make our site work. With your c…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 72 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 757 ms

    757 ms

  • Total Blocking Time: 67 ms

    67 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 67 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 36.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 40 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 40 requests on a phone: scripts 432 KiB (8), images 427 KiB (7) and fonts 139 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (50 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 50 elements on the page fail 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 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 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: 37 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

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • Meta description is short (41 characters)

    Your meta description is only 41 characters: “We are YMU, a leading global talent group”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 27 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 27 pages on ymugroup.com and 1 external page.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We are YMU, a leading global talent group”.

  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “YMU | Elite Talent Management Agency”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.ymugroup.com/sitemaps-1-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix65
  • robots.txt blocks 1 AI answer engine crawler

    1 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.ymugroup.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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 2 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot and Google-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

2 checks passed
  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (513 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 8 pages share a meta description

    https://www.ymugroup.com/cookie-policy, https://www.ymugroup.com/terms-conditions, https://www.ymugroup.com/entertainment, https://www.ymugroup.com/music, https://www.ymugroup.com/gaming and https://www.ymugroup.com/literary and 2 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.ymugroup.com/careers has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    12 pages of 14 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 12 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix63
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 478 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 478 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Get in touch Get in touch” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Termly

    A consent management tool (Termly) loads with the page.

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 ymugroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
