Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 376 KiBAbout 376 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.5 s · 357 KiB2 images could be 357 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s31 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 192 ms
192 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 456 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, GoDaddy and jQuery CDN and others), adding 527 KiB and 286 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
200 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
32 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 588 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.1 s
16.1 sYour largest element takes 16.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “25 Years of IT Excellence IT Made Simple For Any Size Busin…”.
Time to Interactive: 16.1 s
16.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 7 ms
7 msScripts block the page for only 7 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 87 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 87 requests on a phone: fonts 1.2 MB (14), scripts 774 KiB (25) and images 612 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (89 KiB) 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (53 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
100 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 100 pages on bdkinc.com and 7 external pages.

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://bdkinc.com/sitemap.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 (1,058 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/ibm-power-servers/ibm-solutions and /ibm-power-servers/ibm-solutions/ibm-power have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices
6 small tap targets
6 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set

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 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 (bdkinc.com).
Valid certificate (63 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for bdkinc.com and is valid for another 63 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://bdkinc.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 35 links work
All 35 links checked from your homepage (31 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
bdkinc.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
bdkinc.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.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf0.bdkinc.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf-us.emailsignatures365.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
