Speed

10 to fix49
  • Render-blocking requests

    5.6 s

    28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.6 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 377 KiB

    About 377 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 429 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (429 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 84). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.0 MB and 939 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 92 KiB

    About 92 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 441 ms

    441 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 441 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 52 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,012 HTML elements

    The page has 2,012 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 41 KiB

    2 images could be 41 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 84 but mobile only 49. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 51 ms

    51 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 51 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    8.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

  • Time to Interactive: 18.6 s

    18.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 322 ms

    322 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 322 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 100 ms

    100 ms

    Real visitors wait 100 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 140 ms to 93 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 119 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 119 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (48), fonts 715 KiB (5) and images 214 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.1 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

8 to fixGoogle 9091
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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 (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 35 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 9 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The Outcomes Standard™for Agency Performance” and “Request a Demo”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 177 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 177 pages on benchmarkanalytics.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 118 characters

    Your meta description is 118 characters: “We maintain the world's largest multi-jurisdictional database on officer performance with over 80 million data points.”.

  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Benchmark Analytics - Elevating Officer Performance”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.benchmarkanalytics.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.benchmarkanalytics.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,105 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    /customer-support and /contact all use the title “Benchmark Analytics : Contact Us”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 10 pages without a meta description

    /risk-solutions, /internal-affairs-investigations, /first-sign-officer-advocacy-suite, /first-sign, /benchmark-management-system/use-of-force and /benchmark-management-system/internal-affairs and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /customer-support and /contact use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /first-sign-officer-advocacy-suite, whose canonical is /first-sign. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /internal-affairs-investigations and /case-action-response-engine have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /benchmark-management-system/community-engagement took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (benchmarkanalytics.com).

  • Valid certificate (71 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for benchmarkanalytics.com and is valid for another 71 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://benchmarkanalytics.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    benchmarkanalytics.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 11 years old

    11 years

    benchmarkanalytics.com was registered in Jun 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    benchmarkanalytics.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Jun 2029

    benchmarkanalytics.com is registered until Jun 2029.

Content and conversion

2 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 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 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 853 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 853 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Subscribe” and “Request a Demo”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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, 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:spf.protection.outlook.com include:aspmx.pardot.com ~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

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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