Speed

7 to fix52
  • Improve image delivery

    8.8 s · 2.9 MB

    7 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 646 KiB

    About 646 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 62). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.3 MB and 609 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 135 KiB

    About 135 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 446 ms

    446 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 446 ms of main-thread work and 985 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 697 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.5 s

    20.5 s

    Your largest element takes 20.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.5 s

    20.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 253 ms

    253 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 253 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 4.9 MB in 40 requests

    4.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 40 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (11), scripts 1.1 MB (11) and stylesheets 101 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 2.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (2.5 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    437 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example bg_Aceso_Sphere_HorizLock_FINAL_Website.png at 1,440 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 437 KiB.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 166.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9196
  • 1 text element with low contrast

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

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9271
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “Aceso – Aceso Sphere™”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (13 characters)

    Your meta description is only 13 characters: “Aceso Sphere™”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 30 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 30 pages on aceso.com and 0 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (434 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 10 pages share a meta description

    /aceso-sphere-the-core-of-connected-care, /aceso-sphere-core-differentiating-features, /aceso-sphere-patient-engagement, /aceso-sphere-digital-whiteboard, /aceso-sphere-virtual-care and /aceso-sphere-clinical-status-board and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 10 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7796
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • 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 (aceso.com).

  • Valid certificate (53 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for aceso.com and is valid for another 53 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://aceso.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 13 links work

    All 13 links checked from your homepage (13 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aceso.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

    aceso.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 23 years old

    23 years

    aceso.com was registered in Sep 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2028

    aceso.com is registered until Sep 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • 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 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 354 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 354 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “REQUEST A DEMO”, “Learn More” and “Request a Demo”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    aceso.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.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 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”.

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, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It runs WordPress 6.8.11; the current release is 7.1.3.
