Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 4.4 MB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.4 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.3 MB16 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (jQuery CDN, Google Analytics and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 294 KiB and 281 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 183 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
28 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce unused JavaScript
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
19 KiBAbout 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 298 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 14.1 s
14.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.1 s
8.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
27 images without width and height
27 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.
3 checks passed
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sYour largest element renders in 2.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Technology has become the cornerstone of today’s business w…”.
Total Blocking Time: 149 ms
149 msScripts block the page for only 149 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB in 41 requests
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 41 requests on a phone: images 4.4 MB (22), scripts 143 KiB (9) and fonts 129 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 3.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
13 images in older formats
13 images (4.3 MB) 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.
11 images below the first screen load straight away
11 images further down the page (590 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
211 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example slider-3.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 211 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 161.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
26 text elements with low contrast
26 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.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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.
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 (h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 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 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 6 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“OUR SERVICES”, “About Us” and “News & Events”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://astirit.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at astirit.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
66 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 66 pages on astirit.com and 14 external pages.
2 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Astir IT can help fill your IT gaps. Whether you need a single IT expert, a full IT project staffed, or a new applicati…”.
Title: 50 characters
Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “IT Consulting – Application Development | Astir IT”.
AI search readiness
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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (514 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/BlockChainServices.aspx and /WhatisBlockChain.aspx have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/aboutus.aspx, /history.aspx, /Leadership.aspx, /Partners.aspx, /TakeMedsNow.aspx and /services_overview.aspx and 9 others have 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 47 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load

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.

Best practices
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.2/css/all.css' from origin 'https://astirit.com'…”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/pages/Astir-It-Solutions-Inc/136811009711865.
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 (astirit.com).
Valid certificate (174 days left)
The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 verifies for astirit.com and is valid for another 174 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://astirit.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 50 links work
All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
astirit.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
astirit.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 21 years old
21 yearsastirit.com was registered in Apr 2005 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
astirit.com is registered until Apr 2027.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 395 words of copy
The homepage carries about 395 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 8 trust badges.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 90/100
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
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 ip4:207.126.101.0/24 -all”.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
Upkeep, stack and company
- It loads jQuery 3.2.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
