Speed

2 to fix89
  • Mobile performance score: 89

    89/100

    Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    260 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 260 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 96 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    36 KiB

    2 images could be 36 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (ketchcdn.com), adding 1 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 427 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • 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 FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “I’m Ada, an AI-powered symptom assessment optimized by clin…”.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 131 ms

    131 ms

    Real visitors wait 131 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 91 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Time to Interactive: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 59 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.16 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.16 g of CO₂e: 18.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 567 KiB in 44 requests

    567 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 567 KiB in 44 requests on a phone: scripts 373 KiB (22), images 86 KiB (11) and fonts 65 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • Title is short (23 characters)

    Your title is only 23 characters: “Health. Powered by Ada.”. 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 long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 19 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 19 pages on ada.com and 8 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “I’m Ada, an AI-powered symptom assessment optimized by clinicians.”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://ada.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 (262 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix75
  • 1 page without a title

    /symptom-assessment-ai has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /symptom-assessment-ai has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /symptom-assessment-ai has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /help and /symptom-assessment-ai have 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

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

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://app.adjust.com/3kckbd?redirect_macos=https://apps.apple.com/app/id1099986434?l=en.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for ada.com and is valid for another 80 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ada.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 25 links work

    All 25 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    ada.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 34 years old

    34 years

    ada.com was registered in Aug 1992 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only ssl.com, amazon.com, amazonaws.com and amazontrust.com to issue certificates for ada.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    ada.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix70
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • 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 338 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 338 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start symptom assessment”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Start symptom assessment”, “Download Ada” and “Contact”.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:80.82.213.38 ip4:80.82.213.24 ip4:80.82.213.175 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:mail.z…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

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

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
