Speed

7 to fix68
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.0 s · 1.7 MB

    116 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 579 KiB

    About 579 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    1.4 s · 260 KiB

    260 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 437 KiB

    5 images could be 437 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Google CDN adds 118 ms

    118 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics and others), adding 533 KiB and 243 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 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.

  • 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, 537 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

4 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    Your largest element takes 12.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Alternate Text”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.9 s

    12.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 65 images without width and height

    65 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 196 ms

    196 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 196 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 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).

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 148 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 148 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (64), images 971 KiB (38) and other files 106 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 77.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 6271
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 58 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Positive tabindex

    2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers.

    <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 6 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 9 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 6 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 8361
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “BidMail WebSite”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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 short (13 characters)

    Your meta description is only 13 characters: “BidMail Share”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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://bidmail.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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

1 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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
  • 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.

Best practices

Google 92100
  • 8 low-resolution images

    8 images are 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

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix75
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://bidmail.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (150 days left)

    The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign GCC R46 AlphaSSL CA 2025 verifies for bidmail.com and is valid for another 150 days.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bidmail.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

    bidmail.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 24 years old

    24 years

    bidmail.com was registered in Jul 2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2028

    bidmail.com is registered until Jul 2028.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 2 words

    The homepage has only about 2 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix90
  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a mx include:amazonses.com include:spf.onice.io -all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

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