Speed

8 to fix53
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 226 KiB

    About 226 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 176 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (176 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

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

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and Hubspot and others), adding 670 KiB and 567 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 304 ms

    304 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 304 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 8 KiB

    1 image could be 8 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.112

    0.112

    The layout shifts by 0.112 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 85 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 85 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (23), scripts 810 KiB (35) and HTML 808 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.2 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

5 to fixGoogle 9093
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 20 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 103 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is short (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “Home - Affinity Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • 66 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on affinity.solutions and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • 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 (1,199 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (21 KiB, 128 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 8 pages slow to respond

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (affinity.solutions).

  • Valid certificate (38 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for affinity.solutions and is valid for another 38 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://affinity.solutions 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 24 links work

    All 24 links checked from your homepage (22 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    affinity.solutions 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

    affinity.solutions'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 12 years old

    12 years

    affinity.solutions was registered in Mar 2014 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    affinity.solutions is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    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.

  • 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.

  • A 11-field form

    Your longest form asks for 11 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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 469 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 469 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Learn More” and “Talk to us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and “5,300 + Brands”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com ip4:66.246.104.212 -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
