8dio.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your 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 KiB7 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 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 306 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 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 mstidio.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 msCloudflare 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (70 KiB).
Minify CSS
60 KiB60 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 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 183 requests
3.2 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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).

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
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

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

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
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

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

Best practices
1 broken image

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 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 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 years8dio.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
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
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.

6 trackers load before any consent
6Before 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
14Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
