Speed

10 to fix64
  • Document request latency

    2.4 s

    The HTML itself could arrive about 2.4 s sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Font display

    1.4 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.4 s).

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 71). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    780 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 780 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    643 KiB

    About 643 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and IPONWEB and others), adding 895 KiB and 552 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 398 KiB

    41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (398 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 412 ms

    412 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 412 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    120 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    96 KiB

    2 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 120 ms

    120 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 120 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.7 s

    17.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 326 ms

    326 ms

    Real visitors wait 326 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.3 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 493 ms

    493 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 493 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 23 images without width and height

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

2 checks passed
  • 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: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 80 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 80 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (23), images 424 KiB (26) and other files 361 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    24 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example platform-designed-to-scale-mockup.png at 1,151 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 24 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (267 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 below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (168 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.74 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 7686
  • Images must have alternative text (10 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (70 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 70 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

1 checks passed
  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 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

11 to fixGoogle 7732
  • Page is set to noindex

    The robots meta tag says “noindex,nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.

  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 16 links with vague text

    16 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

2 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://2checkout.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 692 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 7359
  • No mobile viewport

    No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • No HTML doctype

    The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.

  • No character set

    No character set is declared, so some characters can render as gibberish.

  • 4 low-resolution images

    4 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (2checkout.com).

  • Valid certificate (114 days left)

    The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA EV R36 verifies for 2checkout.com and is valid for another 114 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://2checkout.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 69 days

    2checkout.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    2checkout.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

    2checkout.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 26 years old

    26 years

    2checkout.com was registered in Dec 1999 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

4 to fix40
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 692 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 692 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Sign up for free” and “PRICING”.

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 ip4:64.128.115.196 ip4:64.128.115.221 ip4:162.221.61.196 ip4:162.221.61.221 include:spf.protection.outlook.com i…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Analytics (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
