Live view · interaction off

Speed

7 to fix65
  • Improve image delivery

    2.9 s · 466 KiB

    4 images could be 466 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 463 KiB

    About 463 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hu-manity.co and nitrocdn.com and others), adding 2.5 MB and 473 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 290 ms

    290 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 778 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.

  • nitrocdn.com adds 54 ms

    54 ms

    nitrocdn.com costs a phone 54 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 22 KiB

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

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 335 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    Your largest element takes 14.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The technical storage or access of your information is used…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 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: 105 ms

    105 ms

    Real visitors wait 105 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 519 ms

    519 ms

    Real visitors wait 519 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 72 ms

    72 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 72 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix53
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Home-Cutout-2.png weighs 646 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 34 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 34 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (8), scripts 1.0 MB (16) and fonts 96 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (691 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    132 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-1.png at 906 px wide, shown at 294 px. Resized copies would save about 132 KiB.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8087
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7766
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“A New Universe of Opportunity”, “A New Universe” and “of Opportunity”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 26 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 26 pages on capstoneco.com and 2 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://www.capstoneco.com/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 (350 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix76
  • 13 pages without a title

    /about, /about/team, /about/impact, /strategies, /insights and /careers and 7 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 13 pages without a meta description

    /about, /about/team, /about/impact, /strategies, /insights and /careers and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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 fix79
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://capstoneco.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.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://capstoneco.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (33 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for capstoneco.com and is valid for another 33 days.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 18 links work

    All 18 links checked from your homepage (16 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    capstoneco.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

    capstoneco.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 22 years old

    22 years

    capstoneco.com was registered in Mar 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2028

    capstoneco.com is registered until Mar 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 332 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 332 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be capstoneco.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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 ip4:38.142.136.144/29 ip4:38.107.70.0/24 ip4:207.90.246.0/23 include:clientspf.backstopsolutions.com include:us.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
