Speed

8 to fix69
  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 3.0 MB

    7 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Embedly and others), adding 6.5 MB and 510 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • website-files.com adds 106 ms

    106 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 5.7 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 371 KiB

    About 371 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 188 ms

    188 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 188 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.

  • Vimeo adds 31 ms

    31 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 31 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 80 KiB

    About 80 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    57 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (57 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 754 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 fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Your largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 40 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 186 ms

    186 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 186 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.7 MB in 77 requests

    6.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 77 requests on a phone: images 5.6 MB (33), scripts 805 KiB (19) and fonts 182 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (160 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 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 228.0 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 8994
  • Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)

    Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (40 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10088
  • 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 (“(add)ventures” and “stay inspired, stay informed”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 28 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 28 pages on addventures.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “We’re an independent agency built by strategists and creatives who add clarity, energy and humanity to every adventure—…”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “(add)ventures: Independent Agency for Strategy & Creativity”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.addventures.com/en.

  • 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://www.addventures.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 (421 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 pages share a title

    /en and /es all use the title “(add)ventures: Independent Agency for Strategy & Creativity”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages without a meta description

    /en/stories/ep-66-how-general-mills-turns-culture-into-connection, /en/stories/brand-slam-strikes-gold-at-the-w3-awards, /en/stories/ep-65-serving-up-a-hall-of-fame-brand, /en/stories/market-to-gen-z-without-being-gen-z, /en/privacy-policy and /en/cookie-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5487
  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'list')”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://addventures.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (42 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for addventures.com and is valid for another 42 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 20 links work

    All 20 links checked from your homepage (17 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    addventures.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 20 years old

    20 years

    addventures.com was registered in Mar 2006 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    addventures.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    addventures.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • 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 339 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 339 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:67.225.229.47 ip4:159.135.226.58 ip4:50.57.208.192 ip4:204.232.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
