Speed

11 to fix22
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    10.0 s · 2.0 MB

    About 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.7 s

    26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 22

    22/100

    Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 15). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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 (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and ContentSquare and others), adding 3.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 162 KiB

    About 162 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 780 ms

    780 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 780 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 431 ms

    431 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 431 ms of main-thread work and 950 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.

  • ContentSquare adds 374 ms

    374 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 374 ms of main-thread work and 178 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.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 2,009 HTML elements

    The page has 2,009 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 20 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    47 KiB

    1 image could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 27.1 s

    27.1 s

    Your largest element takes 27.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Centroid Orange Logo”.

  • Time to Interactive: 38.8 s

    38.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 38.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.811

    0.811

    The layout shifts by 0.811 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 375 ms

    375 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 375 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.9 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Tap response (INP) got 39% faster for real visitors

    -39%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 190 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 67.3 MB in 195 requests

    67.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 67.3 MB in 195 requests on a phone: media 60.5 MB (9), scripts 4.3 MB (87) and fonts 818 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 19.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    19.07 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 19.07 g of CO₂e: 2288.8 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

4 to fixGoogle 8895
  • 16 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (47 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 47 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 3 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 49 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 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Centroid Home - Centroid”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 17 H1 headlines

    There are 17 <h1> headlines (“Power Retail Manufacturing in the Cloud”, “See how retail manufacturers are cutting costs by…” and “We Are MultiCloud Experts Delivering Cloud Choice”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 6 links with vague text

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

  • 168 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 168 pages on centroid.com and 4 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Founded in 1997, Centroid is an award-winning global provider of managed cloud services and enterprise workload consult…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, Organization, Person, Place and ProfessionalService.

  • 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://www.centroid.com/page-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.

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 (1,390 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 7 pages slow to respond

    /about-centroid/partnerships, /about-centroid/corporate-responsibility, /oracle-license-optimization, /cloud-cost-optimization, /multicloud-deployments and /cloud-migrations and 1 other took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    All 15 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 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 4 third-party cookies

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

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 21 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
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://centroid.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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 (centroid.com).

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for centroid.com and is valid for another 77 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/2 and HTTP/3

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

  • All 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    centroid.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

    centroid.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 25 years old

    25 years

    centroid.com was registered in Feb 2001 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2033

    centroid.com is registered until Feb 2033.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 572 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 572 words of visible text.

9 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US” and “Download the eBook”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Contact Us” and “Download the eBook”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 56 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and “over 300+ happy customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be centroid.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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 a:dispatch-us.ppe-hosted.com include:servers.mcsv.net a mx ip4:174.136.145.16 include:spf.protection.outlook.com…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

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 LinkedIn Insight (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
