One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix58
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.8 s · 1.1 MB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 593 KiB

    About 593 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 MB

    About 1.5 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 309 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    87 KiB

    1 image could be 87 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 88 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 602 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    Your largest element takes 13.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero image”.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.21

    0.21

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 289 ms

    289 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 289 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 139 ms

    139 ms

    Real visitors wait 139 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 163 ms to 132 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 58 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 58 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (25), stylesheets 1.5 MB (4) and images 1.1 MB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    generative_ai_c53e096b58.svg weighs 850 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (850 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    4 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example grouped_devices_702_55a9c13c33.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 4 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.7 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

4 to fixGoogle 9092
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 58 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 4 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 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, 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.

  • 49 internal links, 30 external

    The homepage links to 49 pages on api.video and 30 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “api.video lets you quickly and securely deliver on-demand and live-stream videos directly from your website, software, …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Manage videos with one single API”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “api.video | API to host, manage and deliver videos”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://api.video/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://api.video/sitemap.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 (752 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

Google 100100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (api.video).

  • Valid certificate (73 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for api.video and is valid for another 73 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://api.video redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (26 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    api.video'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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 8 years old

    8 years

    api.video was registered in Mar 2018 through OVH SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, globalsign.com, sectigo.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for api.video, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    api.video is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

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

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 620 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 620 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get started for free”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Talk to us” and “Sign up”.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be api.video 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 mx ip4:178.33.109.158/32 ip4:178.33.254.112/32 include:stspg-customer.com include:email.freshdesk.com include:ma…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
