Speed

7 to fix69
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    45 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    653 KiB

    1 image could be 653 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and bc0a.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 519 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    550 KiB

    About 550 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google CDN adds 326 ms

    326 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 739 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.

  • 1,961 HTML elements

    The page has 1,961 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 114 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 34 ms

    34 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix72
  • Time to Interactive: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ADVANCING VACCINES AND BIOTHERAPEUTICS VIRAL VECTOR BIOMANU…”.

  • Speed Index: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 94 ms

    94 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 94 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 158 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 158 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (78), images 1.0 MB (21) and other files 369 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 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: 110.1 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

8 to fixGoogle 9091
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 37 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “ABL Home - ABL, Inc.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 151 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 151 pages on ablinc.com and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “ABL conquers today’s most challenging diseases through developing our clients novel gene therapies, vaccines, oncolytic…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “ADVANCING VACCINES AND BIOTHERAPEUTICS”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ablinc.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://ablinc.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (936 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 2 pages share a title

    /about-abl and /about-abl/overview all use the title “About ABL | ABL, Inc.”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /virus-manufacturing, /aseptic-fill-finish, /cell-virus-banking, /government-partnering and /product-category/elisa-kits have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /about-abl and /about-abl/overview 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 /about-abl, whose canonical is /about-abl/overview. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /shop, /about-abl and /about-abl/overview have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 pages slow to respond

    /virus-manufacturing, /process-development, /aseptic-fill-finish, /cell-virus-banking, /qc-testing and /government-partnering and 8 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 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

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 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 (Forbidden)”.

  • 5 distorted images

    5 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix88
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://ablinc.com/immunology/ (404).

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ablinc.com/government-partnering/overview/.

  • 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 (ablinc.com).

  • Valid certificate (73 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for ablinc.com and is valid for another 73 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://ablinc.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ablinc.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

    ablinc.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 28 years old

    28 years

    ablinc.com was registered in Jan 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2028

    ablinc.com is registered until Jan 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 209 words

    The homepage has only about 209 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

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 ip4:173.201.247.128 ip4:184.154.236.51 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.elasticemail.com inclu…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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