Speed

11 to fix52
  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 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 (hsappstatic.net, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 610 ms

    610 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 610 ms of main-thread work and 783 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.

  • Google CDN adds 400 ms

    400 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 400 ms of main-thread work and 740 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    390 KiB

    37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (390 KiB).

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 354 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Hubspot adds 243 ms

    243 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 243 ms of main-thread work and 361 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.

  • website-files.com adds 81 ms

    81 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 81 ms of main-thread work and 445 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    170 KiB

    About 170 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 52. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify CSS

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Your largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Trusted by the World's Top-Performing Companies”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.196

    0.196

    The layout shifts by 0.196 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 32 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 152 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 152 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (59), other files 403 KiB (26) and fonts 289 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.99 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 119.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

8 to fixGoogle 8590
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 70 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <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 (33 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 33 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.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No page language

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 135 internal links, 31 external

    The homepage links to 135 pages on centercode.com and 31 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 34 characters

    Your title is a healthy 34 characters: “Centercode | User Testing Platform”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (919 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 12 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 3 linked pages hidden from search

    /services/managed-testing, /services/centercode-admin and /demo are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 6993
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

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

100
  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (41 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for centercode.com and is valid for another 41 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

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

  • All 56 links work

    All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    centercode.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 25 years old

    25 years

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

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    centercode.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 432 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 432 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Start for free”, “Schedule a demo” and “Download it now”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix85
  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 redirect=_cspf.centercode.com”.

  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
