Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.0 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 466 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (466 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 118 KiBAbout 118 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Font display
450 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).
Minify CSS
310 ms · 27 KiB27 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2,066 HTML elements
The page has 2,066 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 53 KiB53 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (GoDaddy, Google Fonts and secureserver.net), adding 68 KiB and 77 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 123 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sYour largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FEW OF THE TOP WEBSITES (LAST UPDATED ON 2026-11-09 MONDAY …”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.0 s).
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 3.8 s. Good is under 3.8 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016
0.016The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 17.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 527 KiB in 20 requests
527 KiBYour homepage downloads 527 KiB in 20 requests on a phone: fonts 222 KiB (2), scripts 149 KiB (6) and stylesheets 143 KiB (8). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
1,007 text elements with low contrast
1,007 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
25 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 28 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 25 passed and 3 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.
Meta description is long (164 characters)
Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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://www.backlinks.link/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at backlinks.link/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1,014 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 1,014 pages on backlinks.link and 0 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “backlinks.link”.
Title: 61 characters
Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “backlinks.link | Some Of The Leading Websites On The Internet”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.backlinks.link/.
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.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,052 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without a title
/domain-list-2, /domain-list-3, /domain-list-4, /domain-list-7 and /domain-list-9 have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
13 pages without a meta description
/add-link, /remove-link, /contact-us, /domain-list-1, /domain-list-2 and /domain-list-3 and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
/websites-list, /domain-list-2, /domain-list-3, /domain-list-4, /domain-list-7 and /domain-list-9 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
7 pages with very little text
/remove-link, /contact-us, /domain-list-2, /domain-list-3, /domain-list-4 and /domain-list-7 and 1 other have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

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.
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 (backlinks.link).
Valid certificate (129 days left)
The certificate from SSL Corporation · SSL.com TLS Issuing RSA CA R1 verifies for backlinks.link and is valid for another 129 days.
http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2

All 40 links work
All 40 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
backlinks.link 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
backlinks.link'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 5 years old
5 yearsbacklinks.link was registered in Sep 2021 through Spaceship, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
backlinks.link is registered until Sep 2027.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 2,041 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,041 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Register” and “Contact”.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
backlinks.link 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.
Email authentication score: 45/100
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
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
