Speed

6 to fix41
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.7 s

    24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.7 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 888 KiB

    3 images could be 888 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 267 KiB

    About 267 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 53). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    550 ms · 88 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (88 KiB).

  • Font display

    450 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    160 ms · 50 KiB

    50 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, jQuery CDN and Google Maps and others), adding 427 KiB and 134 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 73 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 275 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 116 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix35
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 1

    1

    The layout shifts by 1 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Your largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 45 ms

    45 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 45 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 49 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 49 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (11), scripts 614 KiB (26) and fonts 131 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.57 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 6691
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 10 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 5 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 9296
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • 24 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on arter.net and 21 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 113 characters

    Your meta description is 113 characters: “ARTER is a European agency with an international reach, dedicated to responsible, resilient, high-impact culture.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “ARTER, ARTISTIC PRODUCTION AGENCY”.

  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Produce the great moments of creation”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://arter.net/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://arter.net/sitemap_index.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 3 pages share a title

    /it, /en/arter-italia-en and /fr/arter-italia all use the title “Arter Italia | ARTER”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages without a meta description

    /en/agences, /en/projets, /en/projets/fondation-louis-vuitton-calder-rever-en-equilibre-2, /en/projets/institut-francais-yto-barrada-comme-saturne-venice-biennale, /en/projets/zineb-sedira-dreams-have-no-titles-friche-la-belle-de-mai and /en/legal-notice have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

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

  • 1 page with very little text

    /en/contact 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 16 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 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (arter.net).

  • Valid certificate (87 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for arter.net and is valid for another 87 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://arter.net redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 36 links work

    All 36 links checked from your homepage (17 internal, 19 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    arter.net 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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 22 years old

    22 years

    arter.net was registered in Jul 2004 through OVH sas. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    arter.net's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    arter.net is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 140 words

    The homepage has only about 140 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “[email protected]”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

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

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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 with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:40177840.spf02.hubspotemail.net -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
