Speed

8 to fix68
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 8.7 MB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.7 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and website-files.com and others), adding 11.4 MB and 828 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 738 KiB

    8 images could be 738 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 640 KiB

    About 640 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • website-files.com adds 107 ms

    107 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 107 ms of main-thread work and 10.1 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • YouTube adds 502 ms

    502 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 502 ms of main-thread work and 1,015 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 · 136 KiB

    About 136 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 185 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 3 KiB

    3 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 880 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

5 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 195 ms

    195 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 195 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

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 11.4 MB in 45 requests

    11.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.4 MB in 45 requests on a phone: media 8.7 MB (2), images 1.2 MB (14) and scripts 1.1 MB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    63c803c66a49ff2161c160bf_home-reel-illo-1-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (403 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 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.24 g of CO₂e: 388.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9273
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “We are the Ad Store”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 14 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 14 pages on adstore.com and 6 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 78 characters

    Your meta description is 78 characters: “Together, we work to create authentic relationships between brands and people.”.

  • 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.adstore.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 4 pages share a title

    /works/mutti, /works/bracco-group, /works/myplant-garden and /works/kiabi all use the title “Ad Store Group”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    /group, /works, /magazine, /join-us, /works/mutti and /works/bracco-group and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 8 pages without an H1

    /group, /works, /magazine, /join-us, /works/mutti and /works/bracco-group and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /works has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 8 internal pages checked

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

4 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.

  • 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 7791
  • 5 third-party cookies

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 (adstore.com).

  • Valid certificate (60 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for adstore.com and is valid for another 60 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 15 links work

    All 15 links checked from your homepage (9 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    adstore.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 26 years old

    26 years

    adstore.com was registered in Nov 1999 through Register SPA. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

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

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    adstore.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Only about 104 words

    The homepage has only about 104 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Join hereArrow Right”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    adstore.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.webapps.net ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
