Speed

12 to fix41
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 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, Google CDN and posthog.com and others), adding 4.6 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    220 ms · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 220 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 980 KiB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (980 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 640 ms

    640 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 640 ms of main-thread work and 713 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.

  • Google CDN adds 483 ms

    483 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 483 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

  • posthog.com adds 411 ms

    411 ms

    posthog.com costs a phone 411 ms of main-thread work and 246 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 137 ms

    137 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 137 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 349 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 285 ms

    285 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 285 ms of main-thread work and 281 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    220 ms · 101 KiB

    About 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 220 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 103 KiB

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    66 KiB

    66 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    55 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    44 KiB

    3 images could be 44 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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 FCP: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    Your largest element takes 13.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “AI that scales creator programs infinitely Archive captures…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.0 s

    11.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors wait 3.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 247 ms

    247 ms

    Real visitors wait 247 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 28% slower for real visitors

    +28%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 186 ms to 241 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 41 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 658 ms

    658 ms

    Real visitors wait 658 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix55
  • Page weight: 6.0 MB in 219 requests

    6.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 219 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (72), images 2.0 MB (58) and other files 438 KiB (66). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    67a56635a5cc62d9b83f313e_Untitled design.svg weighs 653 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (265 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.69 g of CO₂e: 202.9 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

6 to fixGoogle 8591
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (35 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 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.

  • 14 form fields without a label

    14 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 179 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • Title is short (29 characters)

    Your title is only 29 characters: “AI Creator Marketing Platform”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“AI that scales creator programs infinitely” and “AI that scales creator programs infinitely”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 1 link with vague text

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

  • 46 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on archive.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Get full visibility into what your community creates. Capture every mention, discover the right creators, track perform…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://archive.com/sitemap.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 (1,528 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /pricing 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 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: <svg> attribute width: Expected length, "currentWidth".”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix88
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://archive.com/customer-stories/ketone-iq (404).

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (78 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for archive.com and is valid for another 78 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

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

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://archive.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    archive.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

    archive.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

    archive.com was registered in Nov 1998 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Dec 2034

    archive.com is registered until Dec 2034.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • A 23-field form

    Your longest form asks for 23 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 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 961 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 961 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: “Learn More” and “Book a Demo”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Pricing” and “Book a demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 149 customer or partner logos and “over 1K+ brands”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Hotjar, HubSpot, Segment and PostHog.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

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

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 include:_spf.google.com include:23233559.spf01.hubspotemail.net include:mailgun.org ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 5 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 61 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 61 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
