One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

4 to fix64
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 885 KiB

    About 885 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 58). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 329 ms

    329 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 329 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Hotjar and others), adding 682 KiB and 472 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 27 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 150 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 931 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 41 ms

    41 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 41 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    Your largest element takes 20.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “One Secure Form Builder Automate Workflows with Ease”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.2 s

    20.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 259 ms

    259 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 259 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 151 ms to 157 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 171 ms

    171 ms

    Real visitors wait 171 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 81 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 81 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (40), other files 1.4 MB (19) and HTML 71 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 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: 99.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8892
  • 29 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    10 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (8 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 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 9298
  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 281 internal links, 32 external

    The homepage links to 281 pages on 123formbuilder.com and 32 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Build secure online forms as easy as 1-2-3 with our form builder tool. Create application forms, order forms, quizzes a…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “One Secure Form BuilderAutomate Workflows with Ease”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Free Online Form Builder | Form Creator | 123FormBuilder”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.123formbuilder.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.123formbuilder.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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.

3 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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,790 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /solutions is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /solutions has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /online-order-form and /free-online-quiz-maker use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 179 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10078
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5014505&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=20dd074d-02ca-4a2e-98f8-d2411d2d2893&bo=1&sid=8c555a80cdfa11f1b127b5d2a7d052b4&vid=8c557a80cdfa11f1ba6e0d61df913435&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.marketing123.123formbuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/autoptimize/1/css/aut…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • 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 Permissions-Policy

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (123formbuilder.com).

  • Valid certificate (72 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for 123formbuilder.com and is valid for another 72 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://123formbuilder.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 7 did not answer within 5 s.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    123formbuilder.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 13 years old

    13 years

    123formbuilder.com was registered in Jan 2013 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, amazonaws.com, ssl.com and amazontrust.com to issue certificates for 123formbuilder.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jan 2027

    123formbuilder.com is registered until Jan 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • About 742 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 742 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 32 calls to action

    The homepage has 32 calls to action, for example “Order Form Creator”, “Contact forms” and “Order forms”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks, 5 customer or partner logos, 1 trust badge and “Trusted by 35,000+ clients”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Hotjar.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.123formbuilder.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:customeriomail.com include:spf.protection.outl…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 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.
