Speed

4 to fix54
  • Font display

    3.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    8.7 MB

    8 images could be 8.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 67). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Adobe TypeKit and Google Analytics), adding 248 KiB and 226 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    113 KiB

    About 113 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 494 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 189 ms

    189 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 189 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix65
  • First Contentful Paint: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 14.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    Your largest element takes 14.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Scalable and Repeatable IT Solutions and Services for Busin…”.

  • Speed Index: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • 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: 137 ms

    137 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 137 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 13.7 MB in 35 requests

    13.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.7 MB in 35 requests on a phone: images 10.9 MB (14), HTML 2.4 MB (1) and scripts 292 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Accucode-Service-Video-Thumbnail.png weighs 725 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    209 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Accucode-Service-Video-Thumbnail.png at 1,319 px wide, shown at 371 px. Resized copies would save about 209 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (128 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.88 g of CO₂e: 465.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8691
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 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 (27 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 42 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 42 pages on accucode.com and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “We custom design, acquire, install, manage, and support a wide variety of technologies so you can focus on your core bu…”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Accucode | Award-winning technology solutions, services & support”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage 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://accucode.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    42%

    The HTML your server sends has 419 of the 1,004 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 13 pages without a meta description

    /products, /products/networking, /products/rfid, /products/mobile-computing, /services and /services/depot and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    /products, /products/networking, /products/rfid, /products/mobile-computing, /services and /services/depot and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 13 pages with very little text

    /products, /products/networking, /products/rfid, /products/mobile-computing, /services and /services/depot and 7 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /products/rfid and /products/mobile-computing took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    13 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (accucode.com).

  • Valid certificate (69 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for accucode.com and is valid for another 69 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://accucode.com 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.

  • All 22 links work

    All 22 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 1 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    accucode.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

    accucode.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

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

  • Registered until Jan 2027

    accucode.com is registered until Jan 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No direct contact details

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 1,004 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,004 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “Request Project Consultation”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Request Project Consultation”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    accucode.com 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 include:aspmx.pardot.com include:spf.mindmatrix.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
