Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.1 s · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.8 s49 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.8 s.
YouTube adds 1.5 s
1.5 sYouTube costs a phone 1.5 s of main-thread work and 1.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 45). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.3 s
A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 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 (YouTube, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.3 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 640 ms
640 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 640 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 116 KiBAbout 116 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 354 ms
354 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 354 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 374 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
53 KiB3 images could be 53 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Largest Contentful Paint: 20.5 s
20.5 sYour largest element takes 20.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Smart City Solutions SAVE LIVES. IMPROVE TRAFFIC. DRIVE COM…”.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 155 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 155 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (58), images 1.2 MB (19) and fonts 540 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.64 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.64 g of CO₂e: 197.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (24 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has 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.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (71 characters)
Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Applied Information | Smart City and Connected Infrastructure Expertise”.
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.
143 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 143 pages on appinfoinc.com and 7 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “Applied Information connects intersection controllers, preemption systems, school beacons, road signage, and more into …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Smart City Solutions”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://appinfoinc.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://appinfoinc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (653 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 41 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/solutions/transit-near-side-stops and /solutions/freight-signal-priority all use the title “Transit Near-Side Stops | Applied Information”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
/resources/works-with-glance, /solutions/connected-school-bus-system and /solutions/pedestrian-safety have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/solutions/transit-near-side-stops and /solutions/freight-signal-priority use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
10 pages without an H1
/solutions, /solutions/glance-smart-city-system, /glance-certified-installer-program, /solutions/preemption-priority, /solutions/connected-school-bus-system and /solutions/pedestrian-safety and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
6 pages slow to respond
/resources/works-with-glance, /glance-certified-installer-program, /solutions/pedestrian-safety, /solutions/transit-near-side-stops, /solutions/freight-signal-priority and /solutions/intersection-status-and-monitoring-system took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 30 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:_spf.createsend.com include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
