Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix64
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.4 s · 457 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (457 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 304 KiB

    About 304 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 3.4 MB

    22 images could be 3.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and piwik.pro and others), adding 899 KiB and 530 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 120 KiB

    About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 305 ms

    305 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 305 ms of main-thread work and 350 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.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    17 KiB

    17 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 851 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Your largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to give you the best possible experience whe…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 135 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 132 ms

    132 ms

    Real visitors wait 132 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 166 ms

    166 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 166 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 10.6 MB in 77 requests

    10.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.6 MB in 77 requests on a phone: images 5.6 MB (29), media 4.0 MB (1) and scripts 718 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (34 KiB) is 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 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.02 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.02 g of CO₂e: 362.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 12 tap targets too small

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 3 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

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

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 242 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 242 pages on aptiv.com and 23 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 132 characters

    Your meta description is 132 characters: “Aptiv is a global technology company that develops safer, greener and more connected solutions, which enable the future…”.

  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Aptiv | Home - Global Technology Company”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.aptiv.com/sitemap/sitemap-index.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.

  • No llms.txt

    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.

2 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 (877 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    / and /en/home all use the title “Aptiv | Home - Global Technology Company”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /en/investors and /en/user/order-history have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /en/contact and /en/contact-us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 9 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 9 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /en/careers, whose canonical is /en/jobs. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /en/user/order-history and /en/solutions/connection-systems/catalog have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /en/investors has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 113 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No clickjacking protection

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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 (aptiv.com).

  • Valid certificate (151 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for aptiv.com and is valid for another 151 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aptiv.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

    aptiv.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 31 years old

    31 years

    aptiv.com was registered in Sep 1995 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2035

    aptiv.com is registered until Sep 2035.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 465 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 465 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Subscribe” and “Order History”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject 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 ip4:141.123.220.0/28 ip4:141.123.221.95 ip4:141.123.80.36 ip4:141.123.80.37 ip4:69.195.251.0/24 ip4:65.214.232.1…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
