Speed

8 to fix67
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (nitrocdn.com, Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    460 ms · 624 KiB

    About 624 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • nitrocdn.com adds 710 ms

    710 ms

    nitrocdn.com costs a phone 710 ms of main-thread work and 578 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 551 ms

    551 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 683 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: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,724 HTML elements

    The page has 2,724 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 267 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 72 KiB

    About 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    184 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (184 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 40 ms

    40 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 40 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.5 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: 1.7 MB in 65 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 65 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (30), fonts 132 KiB (4) and stylesheets 89 KiB (11). 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

9 to fixGoogle 8289
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 44 images without alt text

    44 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (2 elements)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,124 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

1 checks passed

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://support.anchore.com/.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (anchore.com).

  • Valid certificate (52 days left)

  • Protected from clickjacking

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://anchore.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 50 links work

    All 50 links checked from your homepage (37 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    anchore.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

    anchore.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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking
