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
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 725 KiBAbout 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
43/100Your 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 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (511 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 681 ms
681 msGoogle 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 msframerusercontent.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 msHubspot 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 KiB3 images could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 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.

Total Blocking Time: 778 ms
778 msScripts 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 104 requests
2.2 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://akuity.io/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

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
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.

Security and trust
1 broken external link

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

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
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.

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
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before 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
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
