Speed

  • Google's speed test didn't respond

    Google's speed test didn't respond for this site, so speed and Core Web Vitals are not measured here. Your full playbook measures them.

Core Web Vitals

Not measured in this review.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.9 MB

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB on a phone, 233 KiB of it images (6%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (126 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.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (175 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 131.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

2 to fix98
  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

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

Other pages

100

Best practices

1 to fix93
  • 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.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (10grounds.com).

  • Valid certificate (78 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 10grounds.com and is valid for another 78 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://10grounds.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 19 links work

    All 19 links checked from your homepage (16 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 52 days

    10grounds.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    10grounds.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    10grounds.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 9 years old

    9 years

    10grounds.com was registered in Dec 2016 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 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 412 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 412 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Schedule a Call”, “Book a Discovery Meeting” and “Contact”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 33 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 10grounds.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) 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, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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