Speed

4 to fix77
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 662 KiB

    40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (662 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Font display

    750 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 750 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 50 KiB

    7 images could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    About 30 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 JavaScript

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Unpkg), adding 126 KiB and 6 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 72 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix74
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Your largest element takes 5.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “MAXIMIZE YOUR ROI THROUGH AUTOMATED, DATA-DRIVEN AD BIDDING…”.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 15 images without width and height

    15 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (63 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.31 g of CO₂e: 36.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 43 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 43 requests on a phone: images 770 KiB (26), fonts 214 KiB (4) and scripts 67 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7485
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 23 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 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.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have 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.

1 checks passed
  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 9 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 9285
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://ads-hoc.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 10 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 10 pages on ads-hoc.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 117 characters

    Your meta description is 117 characters: “Ads Hoc: Disrupting Marketing In-house tools, SAAS and integrations. Top marketing agency. Boost your profits, today.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “MAXIMIZE YOUR ROI THROUGH AUTOMATED,DATA-DRIVEN AD BIDDING”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “ADS HOC Marketing Agency & Advertising technology”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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 https://ads-hoc.com/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 (543 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    https://ads-hoc.com/marketing.html and https://ads-hoc.com/terms.html all use the title “ADS HOC - Terms of Use”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://ads-hoc.com/cookies.html and https://ads-hoc.com/privacy.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 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 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8891
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 473 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 473 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “TRY NOW”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “PRICING”, “CONTACT US” and “JOIN NOW”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (5 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • 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).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ads-hoc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
