acn.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.9 s24 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 KiB6 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 KiBAbout 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
66/100Your 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 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (392 KiB).
Minify CSS
450 ms · 67 KiB67 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 215 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 KiBThe 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour 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 sThe 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, 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).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 65 requests
4.1 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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
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
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 yearsacn.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
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
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
2Before 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
6Opening 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
