Speed

11 to fix35
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 348 KiB

    About 348 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 50). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 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 Tag Manager, website-files.com and piwik.pro and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 117 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (117 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    671 KiB

    6 images could be 671 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 468 ms

    468 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 468 ms of main-thread work and 195 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.

  • website-files.com adds 295 ms

    295 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 295 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 287 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,672 HTML elements

    The page has 2,672 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    200 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 45 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 4 ms

    4 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix41
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    Your largest element takes 11.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.6 s

    11.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

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

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 91 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 977 KiB (30), images 811 KiB (23) and other files 113 KiB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    673f4e5f2c3224da31d2e82c_Overlay - GRAIN & NOISE-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (212 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 69.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 9793
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 113 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 63 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 63 pages on appunite.com and 23 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “Appunite helps you hire experienced Elixir developers fast. Get reliable senior engineers who deliver production-ready …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Scale your Elixir team in months weeks”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Elixir Senior Developers for Hire – Fast, Reliable | Appunite”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.appunite.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, ProfessionalService 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.appunite.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 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 (1,228 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (27 KiB, 16 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    /ai and /ai-expertise all use the title “Production-Ready AI Infrastructure | Appunite”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /ai and /ai-expertise use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /ai-expertise, whose canonical is /ai. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Identifier 'initNavbarIsDarkFromStart' has already been declared”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 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 (appunite.com).

  • Valid certificate (34 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for appunite.com and is valid for another 34 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://appunite.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 32 links work

    All 32 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    appunite.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    appunite.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 15 years old

    15 years

    appunite.com was registered in Apr 2011 through Key-Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    appunite.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (4 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

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

  • About 798 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 798 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Get in touch” and “Get in Touch”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks, 20 customer or partner logos, a star rating and “serving 14M+ users”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and PostHog.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:sendgrid.net include:sparkpostmail.com include:_spf.mai…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
