Speed

4 to fix89
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    25.3 MB

    52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25.3 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    24.2 MB

    20 images could be 24.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 89

    89/100

    Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 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.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (cdn-cookieyes.com), adding 1 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 52 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 24.3 s

    24.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 24.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Precision depletion of pathogenic T cells for autoimmune an…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.7 s.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 26.7 MB in 54 requests

    26.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 26.7 MB in 54 requests on a phone: images 26.0 MB (37), fonts 529 KiB (7) and scripts 76 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 16 images over 500 KB

    16 images weigh 25.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 19 images far larger than shown

    21.2 MB

    19 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example stephanie-boisvert-june-2026.png at 1,239 px wide, shown at 170 px. Resized copies would save about 21.2 MB.

  • 22 images in older formats

    22 images (26.0 MB) 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.

  • 19 images below the first screen load straight away

    19 images further down the page (25.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 7.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    7.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.56 g of CO₂e: 907.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9397
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

    11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 11 links without text

    11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Title is long (78 characters)

    Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ability Biotherapeutics – The world’s premier biotherapeutic targeting company”.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 27 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 27 pages on ability.bio and 19 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Ability develops innovative, targeted, immune modulating biotherapeutics to address unmet medical needs in patients wit…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Ability”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.ability.bio/en/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList and WebSite.

  • 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.ability.bio/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (2,256 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix68
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /en/imunify-bot-check, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /en all use the title “Ability Biotherapeutics – The world’s premier biotherapeutic targetin…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.ability.bio/en/imunify-bot-check (404).

  • 8 broken external links

    8 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/angele (999).

  • 3 links through redirect chains

    3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://linkedin.com/in/mosirard/.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ability.bio).

  • Valid certificate (40 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for ability.bio and is valid for another 40 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.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ability.bio 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

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 55 days

    ability.bio is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    ability.bio 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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 3 years old

    3 years

    ability.bio was registered in Dec 2022 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    ability.bio's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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.

  • About 495 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 495 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    ability.bio 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 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.

  • 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).

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
