adr.org does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17.1 s · 7.2 MB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.2 MB).
Improve image delivery
4.8 s · 4.8 MB10 images could be 4.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.2 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 37). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, osano.com and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 852 KiB and 807 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 659 ms
659 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 659 ms of main-thread work and 686 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 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.
Document request latency
50 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 37 ms
37 msYour server sent the HTML in 37 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.5 MB in 78 requests
8.5 MBYour homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 78 requests on a phone: images 5.3 MB (15), scripts 2.9 MB (26) and fonts 137 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.41 g of CO₂e: 289.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 checks passed
44 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: 44 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (untyped) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 4)”.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “The not-for-profit American Arbitration Association® is the leading global provider of arbitration, mediation, and ADR …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The World’s Leading Provider of Dispute Solutions”.
Title: 61 characters
Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “American Arbitration Association | Arbitration & ADR Services”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://adr.org/.
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://www.adr.org/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (496 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
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
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (adr.org).
Valid certificate (67 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for adr.org and is valid for another 67 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.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://adr.org redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
adr.org 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
adr.org'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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 31 years old
31 yearsadr.org was registered in Sep 1995 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2029

Content and conversion
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 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 548 words of copy
The homepage carries about 548 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be adr.org is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 mx ip4:208.185.229.40/29 ip4:208.185.235.40/29 include:spf-00289f03.pphosted.com include:mktomail.com include:sp…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
