americanhotel.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 73 KiBAbout 73 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 112 KiB6 images could be 112 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,663 HTML elements
The page has 1,663 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
240 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 178 KiB and 136 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
2 images in older formats
2 images (115 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (83 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
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: 40.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 39 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 39 requests on a phone: images 644 KiB (27), fonts 221 KiB (4) and scripts 205 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
1 checks passed
47 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: 47 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “Home Page”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (303 characters)
Your meta description is 303 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
311 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 311 pages on americanhotel.com and 0 external pages.
2 checks passed
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.pactex.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,074 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 149 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices

3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
71 of 87 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (pactex.com).
Valid certificate (84 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for americanhotel.com and is valid for another 84 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://americanhotel.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 40 links work
All 40 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
pactex.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
pactex.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
Domain is 28 years old

Registered until Nov 2027
pactex.com is registered until Nov 2027.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
About 363 words of copy
The homepage carries about 363 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be americanhotel.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.americanhotel.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
