Speed

5 to fix67
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 164 KiB

    About 164 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    900 ms · 207 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (207 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 81 KiB

    1 image could be 81 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, myhsphere.biz and Facebook and others), adding 667 KiB and 346 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    About 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 16 KiB

    16 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    32 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 311 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix70
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We Engineer Secure Infrastructure and Operational Platforms.”. Most of its time is element render delay (5.9 s).

  • Speed Index: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 51 ms

    51 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 51 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    19 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example APYL-Hero.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 366 px. Resized copies would save about 19 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (119 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 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.23 g of CO₂e: 27.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 817 KiB in 39 requests

    817 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 817 KiB in 39 requests on a phone: scripts 457 KiB (16), fonts 162 KiB (9) and images 124 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9194
  • Links must have discernible text (3 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 15 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 15 pages on apyl.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We Engineer Secure Infrastructure and Operational Platforms.”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “APYL - Infrastructure & Connectivity Engineering”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://apyl.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://apyl.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

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

Other pages

3 to fix81
  • 5 pages point its canonical at the homepage

    /industries.html, /careers.html, /contact.html, /privacy.html and /terms.html declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 6 pages share a title

    /, /industries.html, /careers.html, /contact.html, /privacy.html and /terms.html all use the title “APYL - Infrastructure & Connectivity Engineering”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    /industries.html, /careers.html, /contact.html, /privacy.html and /terms.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 9 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

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix81
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://apyl.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/pages/APYL-Inc/320498217987626.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (apyl.com).

  • Valid certificate (79 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for apyl.com and is valid for another 79 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

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

  • All 18 links work

    All 18 links checked from your homepage (10 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    apyl.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

    apyl.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 28 years old

    28 years

    apyl.com was registered in Jul 1998 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    apyl.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 625 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 625 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Schedule a Consultation”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Schedule a Consultation” and “Schedule Consultation”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    apyl.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx ptr:myhsphere.biz ip4:199.127.219.168 ip4:209.236.112.95 include:spf.protection.outlook.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), 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 Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

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

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
