Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 1.2 MB13 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34 (desktop: 47). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 2.1 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 615 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (615 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 679 ms
679 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 679 ms of main-thread work and 496 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.
Google CDN adds 592 ms
592 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 592 ms of main-thread work and 730 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 436 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 370 ms
370 msFacebook costs a phone 370 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.
1,728 HTML elements
The page has 1,728 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 87 KiBAbout 87 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
44 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 44 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
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 LCP: 4.7 s
4.7 sReal visitors wait 4.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.8 s
3.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors wait 2.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.6 s
17.6 sYour largest element takes 17.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Welcome to Digital Marketing Solutions for Growth START GRO…”.
Time to Interactive: 27.6 s
27.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 27.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.4 s
10.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.7 s
1.7 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
21 images without width and height
21 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 361 ms to 427 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors
+18%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.5 s to 7.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.6 MB in 258 requests
17.6 MBYour homepage downloads 17.6 MB in 258 requests on a phone: media 10.8 MB (1), images 3.0 MB (98) and scripts 2.8 MB (85). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
99 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example radio.gif at 150 px wide, shown at 44 px. Resized copies would save about 99 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (470 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (141 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.0 g of CO₂ per visit
4.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.99 g of CO₂e: 598.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
14 images without alt text
14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
117 internal links, 29 external
The homepage links to 117 pages on adcore.com and 29 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 127 characters
Your meta description is 127 characters: “Adcore digital advertising solutions delivers powerful, global, performance-oriented digital marketing agency & tech so…”.

Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage 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.adcore.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,154 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
/services/seo and /services/affiliate-program-management-services are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/technologies/feeditor-plus-product-feed-optimization and /technologies/semdoc have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/technologies/media-blast has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
8 pages slow to respond
/technologies/feeditor-product-feed-optimization, /technologies/semdoc, /pricing, /adcore-elite-digital-marketing-agency/brand-awareness-marketing, /services/seo and /services/affiliate-program-management-services and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Best practices
2 broken images
2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=56005851&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=a11dbf99-e111-4b5a-8932-ca2692892b04&bo=1&sid=e4c6fc80cc8711f1a905836ba30a5d12&vid=e4c71470cc8711f199c76f83542d31d8&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
54 of 63 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.adcore.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.
5 links through redirect chains
5 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.adcore.com/technologies/feeditor/.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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 (adcore.com).
Valid certificate (89 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for adcore.com and is valid for another 89 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://adcore.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 81 days
adcore.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
adcore.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
adcore.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 26 years old
26 yearsadcore.com was registered in Jan 2000 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 870 words of copy
The homepage carries about 870 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: “START GROWING SMARTER”.
25 calls to action
The homepage has 25 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Contact” and “START GROWING SMARTER”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 10 customer or partner logos and 6 trust badges.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, HubSpot and TikTok Pixel.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.createsend.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:82.80.210.0/24 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
18 cookies set on arrival
