Live view · interaction off

Speed

4 to fix82
  • Mobile performance score: 82

    82/100

    Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 261 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (261 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 117 KiB

    About 117 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 178 KiB and 144 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    13 KiB

    1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    13 KiB

    About 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 178 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Your largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is element render delay (1.8 s).

  • Speed Index: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 69 ms

    69 ms

    Real visitors wait 69 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 668 ms

    668 ms

    Real visitors wait 668 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 71 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 66 ms

    66 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 66 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

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 15.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 455 KiB in 12 requests

    455 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 455 KiB in 12 requests on a phone: scripts 255 KiB (4), images 145 KiB (1) and fonts 23 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8693
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 31 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 26 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 26 pages on aeieng.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Affiliated Engineers is an industry-leading consulting engineering firm, providing achievement in engineered systems fo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Affiliated Engineers”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Consulting Engineering Firm | Affiliated Engineers”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://aeieng.com/.

  • 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://aeieng.com/sitemaps-1-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix65
  • robots.txt blocks 1 AI answer engine crawler

    1 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • 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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 2 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot and Google-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

2 checks passed
  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (341 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 8 pages without an H1

    /about, /about/careers, /contact, /markets, /services and /people and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /contact and /people have 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.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 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 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 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”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (76 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for aeieng.com and is valid for another 76 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://aeieng.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 (16 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aeieng.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    aeieng.com'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 30 years old

    30 years

    aeieng.com was registered in Feb 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2031

    aeieng.com is registered until Feb 2031.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 map or directions link

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

  • 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 341 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 341 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are 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.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be aeieng.com 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 ip4:144.92.92.74 ip4:144.92.92.192 ip4:50.206.73.66 ip4:50.235.185.230 include:_spf.atlassian.net include:spf.pr…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 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.
