ascellus.com website review

17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 100). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

About 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Google Tag Manager and userway.org and others), adding 543 KiB and 749 ms of main-thread time.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 558 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Hubspot costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 100 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 Tag Manager costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (95 KiB).

15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Desktop scores 100 but mobile only 48. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Comprehensive Behavioral Health Solutions for Workers’ Comp…”.

The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 528 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 42.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("https://www.google.com/search?q=Ascellus Behavioral H…”.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

The homepage links to 56 pages on ascellus.com and 1 external page.

/solutions/delayed-recovery-prevention/catastrophic took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_VERIFIER_CHANGED”.

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

ascellus.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.

ascellus.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.

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.

Social proof on the homepage: 28 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

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

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

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

The homepage carries about 597 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ascellus.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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.

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

Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
