Speed

98

  • Improve image delivery

    78 KiB

    2 images could be 78 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and cloudflareinsights.com), adding 11 KiB and 11 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

3 checks passed

  • Mobile performance score: 98

    98/100

    Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 17 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix100

  • Speed Index: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.0 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.

5 checks passed

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “I find the one step that holds up your month-end close, and…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.06 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.06 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.06 g of CO₂e: 7.7 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: 231 KiB in 10 requests

    231 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 231 KiB in 10 requests on a phone: images 109 KiB (2), fonts 96 KiB (2) and scripts 12 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098

  • 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.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed

  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10094

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.bendotsolutions.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

7 checks passed

  • Meta description: 106 characters

    Your meta description is 106 characters: “I find the one step that holds up your month-end close and automate it. Finance Systems Audit from $1,500.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “I find the one step that holds up your month-end close, and I automate it.”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Ben Dot Solutions | Finance systems for $2M to $20M businesses”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ProfessionalService.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

100

  • 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, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; logo and description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,412 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed

  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    8 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-millard-882b6356/ (999).

  • 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 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.

4 checks passed

  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (55 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for bendotsolutions.com and is valid for another 55 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://bendotsolutions.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.

Domain and trust

1 to fix

  • Domain registered 1 month ago

    1 month

    bendotsolutions.com was registered in Oct 2026 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. Spam filters and search engines treat brand-new domains more cautiously, so expect email and rankings to take a few months to settle.

  • No CAA record

    bendotsolutions.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.

2 checks passed

  • DNSSEC is on

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

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    bendotsolutions.com is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 1,281 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,281 words of visible text.

5 checks passed

  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Email me to set up a call”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Services and pricing” and “Email me to set up a call”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 6 email links.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

1 to fix70

  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be bendotsolutions.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
