Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.5 s57 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 140 KiBAbout 140 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
810 ms · 162 KiBAbout 162 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 810 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 41 KiB1 image could be 41 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 301 ms
301 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.
1,643 HTML elements
The page has 1,643 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 385 KiB and 346 ms of main-thread time.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
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.

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 27.5 MB in 122 requests
27.5 MBYour homepage downloads 27.5 MB in 122 requests on a phone: media 26.0 MB (2), scripts 677 KiB (47) and fonts 364 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 7.8 g of CO₂ per visit
7.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.79 g of CO₂e: 934.2 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
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
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 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Home - Aspire Software”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
6 H1 headlines
There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Aspire Software Strengthens Its Retail Software P…”, “Aspire Software Acquires Jazzware, Expanding Its …” and “Aspire Software Welcomes CORE Cashless, Enhancing…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (249 characters)
Your meta description is 249 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
71 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on aspiresoftware.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.aspiresoftware.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.aspiresoftware.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,350 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/ai-labs, /blog/aspire-software-strengthens-its-retail-software-portfolio-with-the-acquisition-of-nedfox, /blog/category/integrations, /blog/category/news and /blog/aspire-software-acquires-jazzware-expanding-its-hospitality-technology-portfolio have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

8 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://aspiresoftware.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.
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 (aspiresoftware.com).
Valid certificate (52 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for aspiresoftware.com and is valid for another 52 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 21 links work
All 21 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
aspiresoftware.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
aspiresoftware.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 17 years old
17 yearsaspiresoftware.com was registered in Jun 2009 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2028
aspiresoftware.com is registered until Jun 2028.
Content and conversion
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
About 304 words of copy
The homepage carries about 304 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Why join?”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Why Join”, “Learn more” and “Contact us”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 17 testimonial or review blocks and “0 K+ Customers”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
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 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:cust-spf.exacttarget.com include:app.teamsupport.com include:mailgun.…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
