accela.com website review

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 81). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and claydar.com and others), adding 754 KiB and 768 ms of main-thread time.

6 images could be 230 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

About 300 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 385 ms of main-thread work and 536 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 13 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (131 KiB).

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

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

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 15.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “The downtown skyline of Los Angeles”.

The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The layout shifts by 0.136 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 97 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 images further down the page (492 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (45 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

The homepage links to 107 pages on accela.com and 6 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

/roi-calculator, /novotx-elements, /epermithub, /solutions/occupational-licensing and /solutions/short-term-rental have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/roi-calculator has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97269983&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=10fa3d93-e7e4-41c1-b0b5-4d375b7ac067&bo=1&sid=11c4bd60cc4611f18b2c79621fc5b1a4&vid=11c4fdb0cc4611f1a4c88b71e409cf3e&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://training.accela.com/.

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.

accela.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

Social proof on the homepage: 39 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 854 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, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (TrustArc) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
