Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 188 KiBAbout 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
782 KiB9 images could be 782 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot), adding 278 KiB and 180 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 200 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 36 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
15 KiBAbout 15 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 752 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s
7.9 sYour largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This site uses technical cookies that are necessary for nav…”.
Time to Interactive: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.4 s
4.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height
17 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: 127 ms
127 msScripts block the page for only 127 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.04
0.04The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.04, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
3 images far larger than shown
347 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example bg_home-8a1b55b95ed5cfcfdbeaf5dd0fce8b3f.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 347 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (202 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 66 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 66 requests on a phone: images 1,022 KiB (15), scripts 636 KiB (40) and fonts 214 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
19 text elements with low contrast
19 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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
41 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: 41 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (7 characters)
Your title is only 7 characters: “Certego”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Certego MDR”, “Protect your IT Assets with a comprehensive solut…” and “For over 13 years, our sole mission has been to f…”). 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.certego.net/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
57 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on certego.net and 8 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 125 characters
Your meta description is 125 characters: “Managed Detection & Response services (MDR) 24/7 for network, endpoint, cloud, SaaS and OT, against every type of cyber…”.
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.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.certego.net/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 (542 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages share 2 titles
/ and https://www.certego.net/why-certego all use the title “Certego”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.certego.net/services/cyber-threat-intelligence and https://www.certego.net/platform/threat-intelligence-modules use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
15 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 592 words of copy
The homepage carries about 592 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn more”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at certego.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
