Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
470 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 470 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, privado.ai and cloudfront.net and others), adding 276 KiB and 209 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 51 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 71 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
56 KiBAbout 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 361 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s
4.8 sYour largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By Clicking on "Accept", you agree to the storing of cookie…”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 4.8 s
4.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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
Speed Index: 3.3 s
3.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 37 ms
37 msScripts block the page for only 37 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 15.8 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: 474 KiB in 18 requests
474 KiBYour homepage downloads 474 KiB in 18 requests on a phone: scripts 353 KiB (10), fonts 88 KiB (1) and stylesheets 19 KiB (2). 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
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
10 buttons without a name
10 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
21 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 21 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “1stAveMachine”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to 1stavemachime.com, not 1stavemachine.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
16 H1 headlines
There are 16 <h1> headlines (“Innovation”, “Through” and “Collaboration”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
27 internal links, 21 external
The homepage links to 27 pages on 1stavemachine.com and 21 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 144 characters
Your meta description is 144 characters: “We are a generator for communicative and creative ideas, drawing in audiences by involving them, entertaining them and …”.
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.1stavemachine.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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.
1 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.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
/work-2/work, /directors, /content-and-digital/ai, /news, /contact and /videos/1212160161 and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 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.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.privado.ai/index.css' from origin 'https://www.1stavemachine.com' has been blo…”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?.
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 (1stavemachine.com).
Valid certificate (39 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 1stavemachine.com and is valid for another 39 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://1stavemachine.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 22 links work
All 22 links checked from your homepage (19 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
1stavemachine.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
1stavemachine.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 21 years old
21 years1stavemachine.com was registered in Apr 2005 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2028
1stavemachine.com is registered until Apr 2028.
Content and conversion
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Only about 32 words
The homepage has only about 32 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
3 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “CONTACT” and “contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
1stavemachine.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
Email authentication score: 45/100
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 a mx include:_spf.google.com ip4:64.13.192.0/20 ip4:64.207.129.164/30 ip4:216.70.64.0/24 ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
