Speed

12 to fix31
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 1.7 MB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 57). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 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, YouTube and Hubspot and others), adding 2.4 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 867 KiB

    4 images could be 867 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 721 ms

    721 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 721 ms of main-thread work and 641 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.

  • YouTube adds 575 ms

    575 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 575 ms of main-thread work and 969 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.

  • Hubspot adds 409 ms

    409 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 363 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 364 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google CDN adds 153 ms

    153 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 153 ms of main-thread work and 347 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

    70 ms · 131 KiB

    About 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 70 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 57 but mobile only 31. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix30
  • Time to Interactive: 26.5 s

    26.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Your largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.157

    0.157

    The layout shifts by 0.157 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 111 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 111 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (33), images 1.1 MB (27) and fonts 256 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (1.0 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (933 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    271 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Adhesion_Five-Habits-Image.png at 1,659 px wide, shown at 294 px. Resized copies would save about 271 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.18 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7587
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (3 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“”, “Scale Your Business. Stay in Control” and “Built for What’s Next in Your Business”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 45 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on adhesionwealth.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “An Assetmark Company, Adhesion Wealth's investment technology improves practice efficiencies by tackling complex operat…”.

  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Adhesion Wealth Advisor Solutions | Adhesion Wealth”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.adhesionwealth.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Corporation, FinancialService and ProfessionalService.

  • 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.adhesionwealth.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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 (990 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /direct-indexes is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /tax-management-services-tms and /direct-indexes use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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 a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6988
  • 6 third-party cookies

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

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    43 of 47 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://adhesionwealth.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 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 (adhesionwealth.com).

  • Valid certificate (45 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for adhesionwealth.com and is valid for another 45 days.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 39 links work

    All 39 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    adhesionwealth.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 18 years old

    18 years

    adhesionwealth.com was registered in Apr 2008 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

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

  • Registered until Apr 2029

    adhesionwealth.com is registered until Apr 2029.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • 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 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 937 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 937 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “- Learn More” and “REQUEST A DEMO”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “- Learn More”, “Request A Demo” and “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:21030171.spf02.hubspotemail.net include:_spf.salesforce.com include:_…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 1 more (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 46 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 46 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
