aleks.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 74 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

The page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 755 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

About 57 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

About 12 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.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 100 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Your largest element takes 5.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.32 g of CO₂e: 38.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 14 characters: “Please wait...”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://aleks.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

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.

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.

2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.

No character set is declared, so some characters can render as gibberish.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

aleks.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

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

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 21 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
