Speed

10 to fix71
  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71 (desktop: 62). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (bc-solutions.net, Shopify and jQuery CDN and others), adding 1.6 MB and 822 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 159 KiB

    7 images could be 159 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 306 KiB

    About 306 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 68 KiB

    About 68 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,013 HTML elements

    The page has 2,013 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • tidio.co adds 82 ms

    82 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 82 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.

  • Cloudflare CDN adds 74 ms

    74 ms

    Cloudflare CDN costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 64 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 64 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    70 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (70 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    60 KiB

    60 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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 JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Your largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • 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.

  • 17 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.107

    0.107

    The layout shifts by 0.107 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 139 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 119 ms

    119 ms

    Real visitors wait 119 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 458 ms

    458 ms

    Real visitors wait 458 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 122 ms

    122 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 122 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 183 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 183 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (78), other files 658 KiB (70) and images 476 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (161 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.92 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 109.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h4 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8583
  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “8Dio – 8dio.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 8 H1 headlines

    There are 8 <h1> headlines (“LOOPER AVAILABLE NOW”, “@keyframes p11shine { 0%{background-position:200%…” and “BUNDLE POWER”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 89 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 89 pages on 8dio.com and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “Find Sample Libraries & Virtual Instruments - Kontakt VST, AU, AAX. Big Choirs, Orchestral Strings, Pianos, Guitars, ED…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://8dio.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://8dio.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (767 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 54 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://8dio.com/.

  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were 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.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://soundcloud.com/8dawn (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (8dio.com).

  • Valid certificate (68 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for 8dio.com and is valid for another 68 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://8dio.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    8dio.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

    8dio.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 15 years old

    15 years

    8dio.com was registered in Jan 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2029

    8dio.com is registered until Jan 2029.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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 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 744 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 744 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “SHOP ALL”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 8dio.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • SPF does not block other senders (?all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all”.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • The footer still says © 2023.
  • It loads jQuery 3.1.0, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
