Speed

9 to fix24
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    7.5 s · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 387 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (387 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

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

  • Google CDN adds 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Google CDN costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 2.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 24

    24/100

    Your mobile performance score is 24. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Hubspot and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 44.6 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Vimeo adds 139 ms

    139 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 139 ms of main-thread work and 41.4 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.

  • Hubspot adds 369 ms

    369 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 213 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    About 37 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.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    13 KiB

    1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix28
  • First Contentful Paint: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 13.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.7 s

    21.7 s

    Your largest element takes 21.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Simplifying operational risk Delivering at speed by combini…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.2 s

    30.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.409

    0.409

    The layout shifts by 0.409 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 476 ms

    476 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 476 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 47.0 MB in 163 requests

    47.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 47.0 MB in 163 requests on a phone: other files 42.1 MB (20), scripts 3.4 MB (55) and images 854 KiB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (117 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.

  • About 13.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    13.33 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 13.33 g of CO₂e: 1599.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 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.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 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.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8398
  • 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.

  • 40 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 40 pages on acin.com and 6 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “Acin delivers at speed by combining unique industry data, AI and high touch expertise. The trusted partner, built by th…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Simplifying operational risk”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Home | Simplifying operational risk”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.acin.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Person 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.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) 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.

  • 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 (739 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    /about and /company/about all use the title “About us – who we are”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /about and /company/about use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /about, whose canonical is /company/about. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /cookie-policy has 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.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is 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

3 to fix71
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.acin.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://cube.global/resources/news/cube-acquires-leading-ai-operational-risk-provider-acin?utm_source=Social+Media+Organic_LI&utm_medium=LinkedIn+Organic&utm_campaign=HQ_FY25.26+Acin+Acquisition+Announcement+CS1089.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (81 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for acin.com and is valid for another 81 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://acin.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    acin.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

    acin.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 30 years old

    30 years

    acin.com was registered in May 1996 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2028

    acin.com is registered until May 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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: 24 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 801 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 801 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Request a consultation” and “Get in Touch”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (7 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:spf.uk.exclaimer.net include:7919237.spf08.h…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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