absolute.com website review

About 588 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (322 KiB).

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

The page has 3,396 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Osano CMP and Facebook and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 650 ms of main-thread work and 704 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.

About 106 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 371 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

website-files.com costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Real visitors wait 4.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your largest element takes 18.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 262 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 297 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 4.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

20 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 110 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (36), other files 717 KiB (46) and images 393 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6a59681cdbd9885dd8f41883_Group (1).svg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6a59681cdbd9885dd8f41883_Group (1).svg at 1,313 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 13 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 106.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Rehydrate.Autonomously.” and “Track.Trace.Lock.Detect.Remediate.Rehydrate.Recov…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 160 pages on absolute.com and 13 external pages.

/ and /why-absolute all use the title “Stop Downtime & Business Disruption | Absolute Security”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 93 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “gtag is not defined”.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

absolute.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.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,668 words of visible text.

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.

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

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
