appliedsystems.com website review

33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (680 KiB).

About 520 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

9 images could be 514 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, azure.com and Facebook and others), adding 985 KiB and 839 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 469 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.

About 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 430 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 1,532 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 181 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Desktop scores 84 but mobile only 55. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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.

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.

Your largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Applied uses cookies and similar technologies to operate th…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 220 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (41), images 1,013 KiB (37) and fonts 325 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example drti-3_light_us_1110px.png at 1,110 px wide, shown at 309 px. Resized copies would save about 49 KiB.

7 images further down the page (303 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

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

The homepage links to 90 pages on appliedsystems.com and 22 external pages.

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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=151016119&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=adcbcf10-1910-4f9a-ac05-6b636561c0b9&bo=1&sid=9addf480cfc711f1a79c01bff8274cdc&vid=9ade2200cfc711f18c49ed16141ec746&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://insight.appliedsystems.com/getCookie?_mchId=373-DBF-030&_mchTd=appliedsystems.com' violates the …”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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

HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

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

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://applied-systems.ceros.site/ai-solutions-insurance-agencies-transform-workflows/.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

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

appliedsystems.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 phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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 590 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be appliedsystems.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
