Speed

13 to fix33
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.5 s · 2.8 MB

    51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 40). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.4 MB

    5 images could be 3.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (kapa.ai, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 731 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • kapa.ai adds 651 ms

    651 ms

    kapa.ai costs a phone 651 ms of main-thread work and 668 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

    300 ms · 143 KiB

    About 143 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 CDN adds 336 ms

    336 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 342 ms

    342 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 342 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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: 24.3 s

    24.3 s

    Your largest element takes 24.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This website uses cookies to enhance user experience and to…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.7 s

    27.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.0 s

    13.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 181 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 184 ms

    184 ms

    Real visitors wait 184 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 640 ms

    640 ms

    Real visitors wait 640 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.05

    0.05

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.05, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 23.4 MB in 103 requests

    23.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.4 MB in 103 requests on a phone: media 14.9 MB (1), images 5.3 MB (18) and scripts 2.5 MB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (1.8 MB) are 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.

  • About 6.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.64 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.64 g of CO₂e: 796.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9899
  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8580
  • Title is long (71 characters)

    Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Scale AI, Efficiently - Akka is the Agentic AI Platform for Enterprises”.

  • Meta description is long (161 characters)

    Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

  • 11 links with vague text

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 116 internal links, 56 external

    The homepage links to 116 pages on akka.io and 56 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Scale AI, Efficiently”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://akka.io/.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://akka.io/sitemap.xml.

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

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (12 KiB, 28 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix83
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /old declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /old all use the title “Scale AI, Efficiently - Akka is the Agentic AI Platform for Enterpris…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were 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

    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

100
  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://akka.io/old?hsLang=en.

  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (akka.io).

  • Valid certificate (35 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for akka.io and is valid for another 35 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://akka.io 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 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    akka.io 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.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 customer or partner logos. 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.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • About 529 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 529 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More” and “Request a Demo”.

    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 mx include:_spf.google.com include:docebosaas.com include:45500578.spf06.hubspotemail.net include:spf.zoho.com i…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), 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, Hotjar and HubSpot (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 29 other companies contacted
