appius.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

Your mobile performance score is 86. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 113 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

About 318 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (265 KiB).

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google CDN and gowinston.ai and others), adding 629 KiB and 176 ms of main-thread time.

8 images could be 180 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Delivering Outcomes”.

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

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 46 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (17), scripts 629 KiB (6) and fonts 248 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example HomepageHeroRectangle.webp at 1,440 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 19 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 146 pages on appius.com and 0 external pages.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons' violates the following Content Security Policy …”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.appius.com/blog (404).

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

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

appius.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.

appius.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.

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

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

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 544 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Analytics (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
