Speed

3 to fix87
  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 296 KiB

    About 296 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 304 ms

    304 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 304 ms of main-thread work and 533 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics CMP and a8b.co and others), adding 864 KiB and 476 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 35 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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, 555 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix86
  • Time to Interactive: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Your largest element takes 3.6 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: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 126 ms

    126 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 126 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 47 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 47 requests on a phone: media 1.9 MB (2), scripts 786 KiB (21) and images 88 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.1 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 to fixGoogle 9395
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 4 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096

7 checks passed

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.

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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,985 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /solutions/managed-it-services took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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 (atelx.com).

  • Valid certificate (148 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for atelx.com and is valid for another 148 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://atelx.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.

  • All 37 links work

    All 37 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    atelx.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

    atelx.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 2 years old

    2 years

    atelx.com was registered in Jan 2024 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

    atelx.com is registered until Jan 2034.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 1,583 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,583 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request a Quote” and “Contact”.

  • 9 calls to action

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    atelx.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • 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: 40/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • 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 exists:%{i}._spf.inkyphishfence.com include:autotask.net -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 13 other companies contacted
