Speed

8 to fix43
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 725 KiB

    About 725 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 66). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, framerusercontent.com and Hubspot and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 511 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (511 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 681 ms

    681 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 681 ms of main-thread work and 859 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.

  • framerusercontent.com adds 460 ms

    460 ms

    framerusercontent.com costs a phone 460 ms of main-thread work and 586 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.

  • Hubspot adds 342 ms

    342 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 342 ms of main-thread work and 515 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: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    14 KiB

    3 images could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 60 ms

    60 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 60 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Your largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Built by the creators of Argo CD and Kargo, Akuity provides…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 778 ms

    778 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 778 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Real visitors wait 77 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 584 ms

    584 ms

    Real visitors wait 584 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 90 ms to 77 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 47% faster for real visitors

    -47%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 104 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 104 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (50), fonts 237 KiB (7) and images 149 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.63 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 76.2 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

4 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 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 (31 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 31 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.

  • 2 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 52 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Agentic Enterprise SoftwareDelivery Platform”, “Agentic Enterprise SoftwareDelivery Platform” and “Agentic Enterprise SoftwareDelivery Platform”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 57 internal links, 53 external

    The homepage links to 57 pages on akuity.io and 53 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “Deploy with Argo CD, promote seamlessly with Kargo, get advanced visibility with AI dashboards, and use AI agents for s…”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Akuity: The Enterprise Software Delivery Platform, Powered by AI”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://akuity.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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://akuity.io/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.

3 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 (1,139 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 27 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages share a title

    /, /get-in-touch and /akuity-platform all use the title “Akuity: The Enterprise Software Delivery Platform, Powered by AI”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /customers, /get-in-touch and /akuity-platform use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • 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 “The Content Security Policy directive 'frame-ancestors' is ignored when delivered via a <meta> element.”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://bsky.app/profile/akuity.io (404).

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://support.akuity.io/.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (64 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for akuity.io and is valid for another 64 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://akuity.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.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only pki.goog, digicert.com, sectigo.com and comodoca.com to issue certificates for akuity.io, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 opening hours

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 588 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 588 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More →” and “Try it for free”.

  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Learn More →”, “Pricing” and “Book a Demo”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

90
  • 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:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:21537535.spf10.hubspotemail.net include:mailer.shopifyemai…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
