certispec.com website review

2 images could be 8.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 44.7 s faster on a phone.

17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (330 KiB).

About 326 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Maps, WordPress and WordPress Site Stats), adding 17.6 MB and 210 ms of main-thread time.

WordPress costs a phone 9 ms of main-thread work and 17.2 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.

Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 47). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 906 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 761 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Google Maps costs a phone 199 ms of main-thread work and 383 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.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

Your largest element takes 82.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “mike-benna-WHHY-iBp3aI-unsplash”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 83.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 350 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

Your homepage downloads 18.1 MB in 54 requests on a phone: images 17.2 MB (12), scripts 669 KiB (19) and fonts 158 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.14 g of CO₂e: 617.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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 on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

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

Your title is only 29 characters: “Home - Certispec Services Inc”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

The homepage links to 38 pages on certispec.com and 4 external pages.

/draft-surveys, /bunker-surveys, /on-off-hire-survey, /sire-inspections, /preshipment-inspections and /tank-calibrations and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /draft-surveys, whose canonical is /marine/draft-surveys. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

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

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://certispec.sharepoint.com/.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

certispec.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 20 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

The homepage carries about 1,021 words of visible text.

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.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
