afex.com website review

About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

55 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (872 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.0 s of main-thread work and 1.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

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

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Drift and Adobe Tag Manager and others), adding 3.5 MB and 3.6 s of main-thread time.

15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

Drift costs a phone 431 ms of main-thread work and 813 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 block the main thread while loading, the longest for 502 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 83 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Adobe Tag Manager costs a phone 364 ms of main-thread work and 180 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.

About 155 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.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Streamline cross-border payments”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 44.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 329 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 193 ms to 234 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 443 requests on a phone: scripts 4.4 MB (173), images 561 KiB (71) and other files 519 KiB (157). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (31 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.63 g of CO₂e: 196.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Your meta description is 179 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 101 pages on afex.com and 19 external pages.

/commercial-cards, /commercial-cards/corpay-mastercard, /commercial-cards/world-elite-mastercard and /commercial-cards/virtual-cards use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/ has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/corpay-complete, /ap-automation, /ap-automation/po-automation and /cross-border/global-payments took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://insight.adsrvr.org/track/pxl/?adv=wjqi0dk&ct=0:j8rkqvm&fmt=3.

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

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

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

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Opening https://afex.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block;”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

corpay.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.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

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

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,133 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 6 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 38 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 71 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
