Speed

8 to fix66
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 850 KiB

    6 images could be 850 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 s · 254 KiB

    About 254 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 392 KiB

    40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (392 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    450 ms · 67 KiB

    67 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 215 KiB

    About 215 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 97 ms

    97 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 97 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and Google CDN and others), adding 757 KiB and 210 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    25 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 95 but mobile only 66. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 263 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

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Your Ideas. Your design. Your life. Banner”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.8 s

    10.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

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

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 78 ms

    78 ms

    Real visitors wait 78 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 484 ms

    484 ms

    Real visitors wait 484 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.013

    0.013

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.013, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 10 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 65 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 65 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (20), scripts 674 KiB (18) and stylesheets 309 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (2.8 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.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.4 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

5 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 10 tap targets too small

    10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9262
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (8 characters)

    Your title is only 8 characters: “Homepage”. 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.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://acn.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 54 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 54 pages on acn.com and 17 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://acn.com/us-en.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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

Other pages

5 to fix53
  • 3 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /europe-country-selection, /us-en/hbb and /us-en/company-heading, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 10 pages share 4 titles

    /us-en, /ca-en/homepage, /us-es/homepage and /us-en/homepage all use the title “Homepage”, and 3 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 12 pages without a meta description

    /ca-en/homepage, /us-es/homepage, /us-en/homepage, /us-en/services, /us-en/faqs and /us-en/ibo-enrollment and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /opportunity, whose canonical is /us-en/opportunity. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    /ca-en/homepage, /us-es/homepage, /us-en/homepage, /us-en/services, /us-en/ibo-enrollment and /services have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

2 checks passed
  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 19 small tap targets

    19 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 distorted images

    3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 3 low-resolution images

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

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

4 to fix72
  • 3 broken links to your own pages

    3 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://acn.com/europe-country-selection (404).

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.dsa.org/forms/CompanyFormPublicMembers/view?id=7F3000009FD (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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.dsa.org/consumerprotection/code-of-ethics.

  • 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 (acn.com).

  • Valid certificate (149 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for acn.com and is valid for another 149 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://acn.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    acn.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

    acn.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 32 years old

    32 years

    acn.com was registered in Oct 1994 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2030

    acn.com is registered until Oct 2030.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 325 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 325 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn how to start” and “Shop now”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Get Started”, “GET STARTED” and “Learn how to start”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No SPF record

    acn.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be acn.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Domain receives no email

    acn.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • 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
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), 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 Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

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

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 3.3.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
