Speed

6 to fix61
  • Improve image delivery

    2.1 s · 343 KiB

    8 images could be 343 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 190 KiB

    About 190 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 145 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (145 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 217 ms

    217 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 217 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 602 KiB and 294 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Reduce unused CSS

    41 KiB

    About 41 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 314 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

9 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.44

    0.44

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.44 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is element render delay (3.8 s).

  • Speed Index: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 977 ms

    977 ms

    Real visitors wait 977 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 73 ms

    73 ms

    Real visitors wait 73 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 102 ms

    102 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 102 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.038

    0.038

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.038, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 5 images far larger than shown

    82 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example chairs5a.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 82 KiB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (358 KiB) 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.32 g of CO₂e: 38.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 46 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 46 requests on a phone: scripts 532 KiB (14), images 431 KiB (12) and fonts 111 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 6 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 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 should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 7573
  • No meta description

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

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 15 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 15 pages on actonegroup.com and 2 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “ActOne Group Global workforce solutions provider”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    /solutions.aspx, /news.aspx, /about.aspx, /contact.aspx, /privacy.aspx and /cookie-list.aspx and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /Sustainability/Default.aspx, whose canonical is /Sustainability. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /cookie-list.aspx 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.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    /Sustainability/Default.aspx, /news.aspx, /about.aspx, /contact.aspx and /privacy.aspx took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'querySelector')”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (102 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com, Inc. · Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2 verifies for actonegroup.com and is valid for another 102 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • All 10 links work

    All 10 links checked from your homepage (9 internal, 1 external) answered without errors; 5 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 55 days

    actonegroup.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    actonegroup.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

    actonegroup.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 8 years old

    8 years

    actonegroup.com was registered in Dec 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • Only about 148 words

    The homepage has only about 148 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Start Your AI Journey”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

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

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 ip4:205.220.173.87 ip4:205.220.161.87 ip4:68.177.108.0/24 ip4:208.185.229.0/24 ip4:208.185.235.0/24 include:amaz…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 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). 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.
