annexcloud.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

10 to fix48
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 639 KiB

    About 639 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 135 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 77). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    880 ms · 123 KiB

    About 123 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 880 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    750 ms · 158 KiB

    158 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Adroll and Facebook and others), adding 738 KiB and 683 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 381 ms

    381 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    253 KiB

    4 images could be 253 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 173 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 77 but mobile only 48. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix55
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.3 s

    17.3 s

    Your largest element takes 17.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.5 s

    17.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 42 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 422 ms

    422 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 422 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 35% faster for real visitors

    -35%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 130 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 130 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (35), images 744 KiB (53) and stylesheets 148 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    24 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example quiz-slider-desktop.webp at 1,410 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 24 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (125 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9091
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 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.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • 69 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

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

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 5 links with vague text

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

  • 141 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 141 pages on annexcloud.com and 23 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Find the right loyalty platform for your brand. Drive results and deepen customer connections with Annex Cloud's Loyalt…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Customer loyalty that drives measurable revenue”.

  • Title: 41 characters

    Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Annex Cloud | Enterprise Loyalty Platform”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ImageObject, Organization, SoftwareApplication, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.annexcloud.com/sitemap_index.xml.

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: 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 (1,513 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page slow to respond

    /loyalty-experience-platform took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://d.adroll.com/cm/experian/out?af0=0fe6f973&adroll_fpc=2f1ba382ba183f463598ac8594aeeef7-1792678210651&pv=37601159832.608345&arrfrr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.annexcloud.com%2F&advertisable=75CTPDFFPRC7VG.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the script 'https://lex.33across.com/ps/v1/pubtoken/?pid=115&event=rtg&us_privacy=&rnd=37601159832.608345&ru=ht…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    60 of 63 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://loyaltylounge.annexcloud.com/media/10-benefits-of-implementing-customer-loyalty-program.

  • 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 (annexcloud.com).

  • Valid certificate (31 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for annexcloud.com and is valid for another 31 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://annexcloud.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 56 links work

    All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    annexcloud.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

    annexcloud.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 9 years old

    9 years

    annexcloud.com was registered in Feb 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    annexcloud.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 411 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 411 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Get your free session”, “Start learning now” and “Learn more”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be annexcloud.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:spf.protection.outlook.com include:6zi0jb5jyq.powerspf.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “default” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
