akka.io does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.5 s · 2.8 MB51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 1.0 MBAbout 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 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your 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 MB5 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 mskapa.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 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Minify CSS
10 KiB10 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.

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: 24.3 s
24.3 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 27.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.0 s
13.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s
1.3 sScripts 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 sThe 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 sReal 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).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 23.4 MB in 103 requests
23.4 MBYour 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 gBy 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 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
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
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
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.

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
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”.

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.
