Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 407 KiBAbout 407 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 399 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (399 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 255 ms
255 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 293 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.
1,704 HTML elements
The page has 1,704 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, azure.com and cookieinformation.com and others), adding 370 KiB and 338 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 86 KiB4 images could be 86 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. 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 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 52. 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: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 819 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 42 ms
42 msYour server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 7.7 s
7.7 sYour largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “picture of aker solution logo on a wall”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.3 s
4.3 sThe first text or image appears after 4.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.7 s
7.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user FCP: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
41 images without width and height
41 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 420 ms
420 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 420 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
12 images below the first screen load straight away
12 images further down the page (523 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 46 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 46 requests on a phone: images 774 KiB (28), scripts 772 KiB (7) and fonts 102 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 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
13 H1 headlines
There are 13 <h1> headlines (“Aker Solutions awarded Nes hydropower upgrade by …”, “Aker Solutions awarded engineering and integrity …” and “Paal Eikeseth appointed new CEO of Aker Solutions”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (203 characters)
Your meta description is 203 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (untyped) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 4)”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
95 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 95 pages on akersolutions.com and 3 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 31 characters
Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Aker Solutions | Aker Solutions”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.akersolutions.com/.
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.akersolutions.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (1,205 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/careers and /news/news-archive have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
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”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
48 of 49 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.akersolutions.com/careers/job-search/ (500).
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 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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (akersolutions.com).
Valid certificate (85 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for akersolutions.com and is valid for another 85 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://akersolutions.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.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 85 days
akersolutions.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
akersolutions.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
akersolutions.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 18 years old
18 yearsakersolutions.com was registered in Jan 2008 through Abion AB. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
About 1,249 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,249 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Join our team”, “Get in touch with us” and “To start page”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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:spf1.akersolutions.com include:spf2.akersolutions.com include:spf3.akersolutions.com include:_spf.anpdm.…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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.
