abacus.ch does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
30.1 s · 5.9 MB1 image could be 5.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 30.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 192 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (192 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
460 ms · 89 KiBAbout 89 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare CDN and ccm19.de), adding 28 KiB and 47 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.7 MB in 44 requests
7.7 MBYour homepage downloads 7.7 MB in 44 requests on a phone: images 6.7 MB (9), fonts 828 KiB (5) and scripts 131 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.20 g of CO₂e: 263.5 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
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (72 characters)
Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “ERP System | Business Software | Abacus Research AG | Abacus Research AG”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
140 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 140 pages on abacus.ch and 12 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Innovation”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.abacus.ch/en/.
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.abacus.ch/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.
2 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 (635 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages share 3 titles
/en and / all use the title “ERP System | Business Software | Abacus Research AG | Abacus Research…”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages without a meta description
/fr and /it have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages share a meta description
/en/contact-us and / use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is /en. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/en/products/finances/financial-accounting/success-stories 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 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
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

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/abacusresearch.

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.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://abacus.ch 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.
security.txt published
A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.
Domain and trust
1 checks passed
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only amazon.com, digicert.com, sectigo.com and pki.goog to issue certificates for abacus.ch, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 522 words of copy
The homepage carries about 522 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Click here to download the video.”.
2 short forms

Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:spf.abacus.ch ip4:62.106.93.27 ip4:185.16.173.0/27 ip6:2a03:da40:0:aa::/64 include:spf.mandrillapp.co…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
