Speed

10 to fix45
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.7 s · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.5 s · 453 KiB

    61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (453 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Google CDN costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.8 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: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 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 (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 3.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 271 KiB

    8 images could be 271 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • 2,118 HTML elements

    The page has 2,118 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • hubspotusercontent-na1.net adds 56 ms

    56 ms

    hubspotusercontent-na1.net costs a phone 56 ms of main-thread work and 570 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 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 47 ms

    47 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 47 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: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    Your largest element takes 14.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Rigorous, rapid research. Refreshingly human. Appinio is he…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.9 s

    24.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 999 ms

    999 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 999 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 225 ms

    225 ms

    Real visitors wait 225 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 209 ms to 189 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.04

    0.04

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.04 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.033

    0.033

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.033, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB in 137 requests

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 137 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (36), images 1,019 KiB (48) and other files 790 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 161.8 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

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 375 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 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Appinio: Insights for everyone | Global market research powered by AI”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 88 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 88 pages on appinio.com and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “AI powered market research: Appinio collects thousands of answers globally from representative consumer groups to valid…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Rigorous, rapid research. Refreshingly human.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.appinio.com/en/.

  • 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.appinio.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (901 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (8 KiB, 26 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a title

    /en and /en-gb all use the title “Appinio: Insights for everyone | Global market research powered by AI”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7397
  • 1 third-party cookie

Security and trust

1 to fix89
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.appinio.com/en/about-us-old-version (404).

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://appinio.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

  • Valid certificate (91 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for appinio.com and is valid for another 91 days.

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

  • http:// redirects to https

  • HTTP/2

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

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    appinio.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 16 years old

    16 years

    appinio.com was registered in Oct 2010 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only amazontrust.com, awstrust.com, pki.goog and amazon.com to issue certificates for appinio.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    appinio.com is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

100

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 ip4:167.89.85.240 include:_spf.google.com include:2714352.spf05.hubspotemail.net include:amazonses.com include:m…”.
