Speed

9 to fix87
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 1.1 MB

    69 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 377 KiB

    About 377 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and hsappstatic.net and others), adding 1.4 MB and 527 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 240 ms

    240 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,886 HTML elements

    The page has 1,886 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • auddy.co adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    auddy.co costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 517 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 151 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    36 KiB

    3 images could be 36 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 191 ms

    191 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 191 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix95
  • Time to Interactive: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Your largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Now you can turn your routine updates into audio stories th…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.3 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 102 ms

    102 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 102 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.52 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 89 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 89 requests on a phone: scripts 951 KiB (30), images 745 KiB (23) and HTML 66 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9795
  • 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (15 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 45 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8592
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Article, ImageObject, Organization and Person) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://develop.auddy.co)”.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 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.

  • 95 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 95 pages on auddy.com and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Now you can turn your routine updates into audio stories that inspire action all without lifting a finger. With an encr…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Private Audio.PowerfulStorytelling.”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “An End-to-End Podcasting Solution for Stories That Stick - Auddy”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://auddy.com/.

  • 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://auddy.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (892 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /inspire has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /campfire/pricing and /join-newsletter use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    /campfire/internal, /campfire/investors, /campfire/brands-marketing-member-engagement, /campfire/end-to-end-private-podcasting, /campfire/pricing and /book-a-demo and 7 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 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7797
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    29 of 33 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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 (auddy.com).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for auddy.com and is valid for another 47 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://auddy.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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors; 7 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    auddy.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

    auddy.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 13 years old

    13 years

    auddy.com was registered in May 2013 through TurnCommerce, Inc. DBA NameBright.com. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    auddy.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 920 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 920 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Schedule demo”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Book a Demo” and “Join newsletter”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

90
  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:26059031.spf04.hubspotemail.net include:_spf.google.com +a +mx +a:auddy.co -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Termly

    A consent management tool (Termly) loads with the page.
