Speed

11 to fix62
  • elfsightcdn.com adds 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    elfsightcdn.com costs a phone 2.4 s of main-thread work and 421 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.6 s.

  • Main-thread work: 9.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (elfsightcdn.com, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.9 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    573 KiB

    About 573 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    328 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (328 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 286 ms

    286 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 306 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Vimeo adds 71 ms

    71 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 71 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.

  • sanity.io adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    sanity.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 441 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 220 KiB

    14 images could be 220 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    22 KiB

    About 22 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 44 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix66
  • Time to Interactive: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We connect equipment brands with real buyers across constru…”.

  • 28 images without width and height

    28 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.02

    0.02

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.02, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 107 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 107 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (22), images 593 KiB (44) and other files 190 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    72 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 42549d37530bbb6a8f24c73d86a264638a6aaa07-4495x1791.png at 4,495 px wide, shown at 182 px. Resized copies would save about 72 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (39 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 (39 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8791
  • 39 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 88 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 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: 39 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9281
  • 19 H1 headlines

    There are 19 <h1> headlines (“We connect equipment brands with real buyers acro…”, “Who We Are” and “Our Brand Partners”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

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

  • Meta description is long (192 characters)

    Your meta description is 192 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 13 internal links, 35 external

    The homepage links to 13 pages on catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com and 35 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Catalyst Communications Network”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage and Organization.

  • 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://catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com/sitemap-index.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.

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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,071 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page with very little text

    /industrial 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.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 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 a meta description

    All 12 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    35 of 38 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (78 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com and is valid for another 78 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://catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 30 links work

    All 30 links checked from your homepage (12 internal, 18 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 39 days

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com is registered until Nov 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.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

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.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 2 years old

    2 years

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.com was registered in Nov 2023 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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 1,325 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,325 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Join Our Network”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “join our network” and “learn more”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks, 6 trust badges and “900+ Companies”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.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

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.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

    catalystcommunicationsnetwork.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

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies, 2 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
