ability.bio does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
25.3 MB52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25.3 MB).
Improve image delivery
24.2 MB20 images could be 24.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 24.3 s
24.3 sVisually, 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

Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sYour 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.7 s.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 26.7 MB in 54 requests
26.7 MBYour 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 MB19 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 gBy 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
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
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…”.

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

XML sitemap found

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 (2,256 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
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.

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
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 yearsability.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
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

Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage

Email authentication
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.
