Speed
Render-blocking requests
5.6 s28 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (429 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your 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 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB2 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 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify CSS
12 KiB12 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 119 requests
2.4 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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)

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 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 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
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
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.

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.
