Speed

15 to fix38
  • Render-blocking requests

    17.9 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 17.9 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.8 s · 9.3 MB

    96 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.3 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 872 KiB

    About 872 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 s · 262 KiB

    About 262 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 38

    38/100

    Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 37). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hsappstatic.net and website-files.com and others), adding 15.9 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 340 ms

    340 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 13.9 MB 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 MB

    27 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 413 ms

    413 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 413 ms of main-thread work and 686 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.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 381 ms

    381 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 694 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 · 24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • reddit adds 253 ms

    253 ms

    reddit costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 32 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 203 ms

    203 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 345 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.

  • 1,594 HTML elements

    The page has 1,594 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 245 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix0
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Real visitors wait 4.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 17.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 46.0 s

    46.0 s

    Your largest element takes 46.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 46.7 s

    46.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 46.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.13

    0.13

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 857 ms

    857 ms

    Real visitors wait 857 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 536 ms

    536 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 536 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.112

    0.112

    The layout shifts by 0.112 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 3.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Tap response (INP) got 25% faster for real visitors

    -25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 180 ms to 135 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

2 to fix50
  • Page weight: 16.7 MB in 276 requests

    16.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 16.7 MB in 276 requests on a phone: media 8.3 MB (13), images 2.8 MB (102) and fonts 2.6 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images far larger than shown

    545 KiB

    10 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 6a8d51e4af14ef33acaa0ac4_Group 4801 (1).webp at 1,310 px wide, shown at 340 px. Resized copies would save about 545 KiB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (333 KiB) 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (103 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.74 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.74 g of CO₂e: 568.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9794
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 206 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Grow Your Donor Base”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (185 characters)

    Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 9 links with vague text

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

  • 107 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 107 pages on almabase.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “GROW YOUR DONOR BASE”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.almabase.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ItemList, Organization, SoftwareApplication, VideoObject and WebPage.

  • 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.almabase.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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 (2,133 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (20 KiB, 73 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    /products/events and /products/events-old all use the title “Event Management Software | Almabase”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /products/events and /products/events-old use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /ebooks-old/advancement-playbook-2023-old, whose canonical is /resources. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 55 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.almabase.com/ebooks-old/advancement-playbook-2023-old.

  • 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 (almabase.com).

  • Valid certificate (69 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for almabase.com and is valid for another 69 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://almabase.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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 22 days

    almabase.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

  • No CAA record

    almabase.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

    almabase.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 12 years old

    12 years

    almabase.com was registered in Nov 2013 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 1,467 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,467 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request a Demo” and “Book a demo”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Start Tour”, “Request a Demo” and “Book a demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 87 testimonial or review blocks, 45 customer or partner logos, a star rating and 55 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Segment.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be almabase.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com”.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 53 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 53 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
