Speed

10 to fix53
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    18.1 s · 5.1 MB

    96 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.2 s · 1.5 MB

    About 1.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    6.2 s

    43 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.2 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.7 s · 470 KiB

    About 470 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 495 KiB

    6 images could be 495 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Google Fonts), adding 1.2 MB and 554 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 476 ms

    476 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 476 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Font display

    400 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Document request latency

    143 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    10 ms · 32 KiB

    32 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 108 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.3 s

    25.3 s

    Your largest element takes 25.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “K-12 Education Technology Solutions for the Classroom of th…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 32.6 s

    32.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 172 ms

    172 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 172 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.9 MB in 115 requests

    6.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 115 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (30), images 2.5 MB (17) and stylesheets 785 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (38 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.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.95 g of CO₂e: 234.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 8189
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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 main landmark

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

  • 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 36 links without text

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9278
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (28 characters)

    Your title is only 28 characters: “Home - CD3K Compudirect 3000”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (276 characters)

    Your meta description is 276 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 78 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 78 pages on cd3k.com and 4 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://cd3k.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage 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://cd3k.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (1,112 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix83
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /about, /services, /get-a-quote and /apple-partner have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages share a meta description

    /solutions, /deals, /contact-us, /deals-acer, /deals-amazon and /deals-amd and 5 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /deals-apc/%20, whose canonical is /deals-apc. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    /solutions, /deals, /get-a-quote, /deals-acer, /deals-amazon and /deals-amd and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 12 pages with very little text

    /solutions, /deals, /contact-us, /get-a-quote, /deals-acer and /deals-amazon and 6 others have 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.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    /deals-apc/%20, /deals-asus and /deals-brother took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 45 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

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

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (cd3k.com).

  • Valid certificate (55 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for cd3k.com and is valid for another 55 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cd3k.com redirects to the secure version.

  • All 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 25 days

    cd3k.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

  • No CAA record

    cd3k.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

    cd3k.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 24 years old

    24 years

    cd3k.com was registered in Nov 2001 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 50 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 489 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 489 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Get A Free Quote” and “Shop Now”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

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

Email authentication

1 to fix80
  • 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: 80/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 +a +a:1310270-server1.solution21.com ip4:166.78.37.69 ip6:2001:4800:3a1:800:ef1d:ef:ac8a:62d7 include:spf.protec…”.

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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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).
