Speed
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
278 KiBAbout 278 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Adobe Experience Cloud, hubspotusercontent-na1.net and coveo.com), adding 4 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.34 g of CO₂e: 41.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 71 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 71 requests on a phone: images 751 KiB (24), fonts 234 KiB (7) and other files 132 KiB (6). That is a lean page.
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
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
25 text elements with low contrast
25 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
16 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 17 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 16 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
17 links with vague text
17 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
24 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 24 pages on aldevron.com and 10 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “Aldevron manufactures GMP-grade plasmid DNA, mRNA, proteins & enzymes for gene therapy, cell therapy and RNA programs f…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Aldevron and Integrated DNA Technologies ManufactureWorld’s First mRNA-based Personalized CRISPR Therapy”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Plasmid DNA, mRNA & cGMP Biologics Manufacturer | Aldevron”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.aldevron.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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://www.aldevron.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 31 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /catalog-products/pald-cloning-backbones, whose canonical is /catalog-products/cloning-backbones/pald-cv42-cv77-dna. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages with very little text
/blog, /catalog-products/ivt-enzymes, /catalog-products/viral-vector-plasmids and /catalog-products/reporters have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Security and trust
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.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (aldevron.com).
Valid certificate (50 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for aldevron.com and is valid for another 50 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://aldevron.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.
All 31 links work
All 31 links checked from your homepage (22 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
aldevron.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
aldevron.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.
2 checks passed

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.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 859 words of copy
The homepage carries about 859 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
25 calls to action
The homepage has 25 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Order Now” and “DOWNLOAD NOW”.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be aldevron.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{v}.%{d}.spf.has.pphosted.com include:mail.zendesk.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
1 other company contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
