One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix53
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.2 s · 299 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (299 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 420 KiB

    13 images could be 420 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 229 KiB

    About 229 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 473 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • WordPress adds 9 ms

    9 ms

    WordPress costs a phone 9 ms of main-thread work and 594 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 · 35 KiB

    About 35 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 83 but mobile only 53. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 951 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 40 ms

    40 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 40 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Real visitors wait 6.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    Your largest element takes 13.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Go-to-Market AI for Consumer Goods.”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.0 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: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 248 ms

    248 ms

    Real visitors wait 248 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 101% slower for real visitors

    +101%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 289 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 42% slower for real visitors

    +42%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.2 s to 5.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 244 ms

    244 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 244 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 68 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 68 requests on a phone: scripts 779 KiB (23), images 598 KiB (26) and fonts 293 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9094
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 41 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 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 59 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 59 pages on aforza.com and 10 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 114 characters

    Your meta description is 114 characters: “Aforza helps CPG companies make every route to market profitable across all roles, markets, categories & channels.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Go-to-Market AI for Consumer Goods.”.

  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Aforza - Make every route to market profitable”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://aforza.com/sitemap.xml.

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 /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 (237 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /ava has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 14 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 (aforza.com).

  • Valid certificate (37 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for aforza.com and is valid for another 37 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aforza.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

    aforza.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 8 years old

    8 years

    aforza.com was registered in Aug 2018 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    aforza.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix72
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 37 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 188 words

    The homepage has only about 188 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “DOWNLOAD” and “Try Ava Audits”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Demo Center”, “Aforza Demo Center” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and HubSpot.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be aforza.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:5525457.spf02.hubspotemail.net include:sendgrid.net …”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “hs1”), 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 Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
