breakneck.dev does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

100
  • Render-blocking requests

    100 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    66 KiB

    6 images could be 66 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Plausible), adding 3 KiB and 6 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 100

    100/100

    Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 56 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

100
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.0 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “From idea to MVP in record time. Breakneck handles auth, bi…”.

  • 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: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.0 s.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.04 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.04 g of CO₂e: 4.3 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: 130 KiB in 16 requests

    130 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 130 KiB in 16 requests on a phone: images 81 KiB (7), scripts 20 KiB (6) and HTML 15 KiB (1). 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 9196
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is short (13 characters)

    Your title is only 13 characters: “Breakneck.dev”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 14 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 14 pages on breakneck.dev and 11 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 128 characters

    Your meta description is 128 characters: “Breakneck is the ultimate SaaS Starter Kit for .net developers. Lettings you focus on your business instead of boilerpl…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Ultimate .NET SaaS Starter Kit Built for Speed and Scale”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://breakneck.dev/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://breakneck.dev/sitemap-index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (1,263 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix62
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /mvp, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 6 pages share a title

    /, /legal/privacy, /legal/tos, /legal/acceptable-use, /legal/disclaimer and /legal/license all use the title “Breakneck.dev”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages share a meta description

    /blog, /legal/privacy, /legal/tos, /legal/acceptable-use, /legal/disclaimer and /legal/license use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /blog has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 7 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

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

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix81
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.breakneck.dev/mvp (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (breakneck.dev).

  • Valid certificate (28 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for breakneck.dev and is valid for another 28 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://breakneck.dev redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    breakneck.dev'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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 2 years old

    2 years

    breakneck.dev was registered in Feb 2024 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and sectigo.com to issue certificates for breakneck.dev, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    breakneck.dev is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 653 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 653 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Demo”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Plausible.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    breakneck.dev has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    breakneck.dev has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • 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.

  • Domain receives no email

    breakneck.dev has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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).
