Speed

100
  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    104 KiB

    About 104 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    100 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (100 KiB).

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (leadconnectorhq.com, Cloudflare and bunny.net and others), adding 264 KiB and 70 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    86 KiB

    1 image could be 86 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 68 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    19 KiB

    About 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 243 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • 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
  • 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: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Your largest element renders in 0.9 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Powering private capital markets”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 9 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    84 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example LE1NsSGnUcs7toz11IosptzbW102Ex49tNZLMGpA.png at 2,772 px wide, shown at 150 px. Resized copies would save about 84 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (87 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (87 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 29.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 886 KiB in 50 requests

    886 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 886 KiB in 50 requests on a phone: scripts 377 KiB (24), fonts 299 KiB (5) and images 123 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9395
  • ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name (3 elements)

    ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 34 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 34 pages on capxe.com and 2 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Capital Engine provides forward-thinking organizations with efficient, scalable private capital and investor management…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Poweringprivate capital markets”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Capital Engine — Powering Online Capital Markets”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://capxe.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://capxe.com/sitemap.xml.

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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (556 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 1 linked page is broken

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

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /deals/harbor-point-multifamily-fund-ii took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 8 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

4 to fix69
  • 2 broken links to your own pages

    2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://capxe.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://capxe.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 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 (capxe.com).

  • Valid certificate (54 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for capxe.com and is valid for another 54 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • 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 expires in 70 days

    capxe.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    capxe.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

    capxe.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 8 years old

    8 years

    capxe.com was registered in Jan 2018 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. 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 558 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 558 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request a Demo”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Get Started”, “Request a Demo” and “Sign up”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    capxe.com 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

    capxe.com 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

    capxe.com 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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

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.
