chardmd.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

6 to fix37
  • Main-thread work: 41.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 41.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 250 KiB

    About 250 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 549 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 193 ms

    193 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 193 ms of main-thread work and 576 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 622 KiB and 193 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    6 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 38 ms

    38 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix37
  • Speed Index: 28.7 s

    28.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 28.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 25.1 s

    25.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 25.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.5 s

    41.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “I am a Seasoned Software Engineer developing enterprise-gra…”.

  • 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
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.035

    0.035

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.035, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 36.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 28 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 28 requests on a phone: scripts 613 KiB (9), other files 299 KiB (10) and fonts 122 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 9680
  • <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.

  • 15 images without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No page language

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

1 checks passed
  • 14 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 19 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 14 passed and 5 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 10072
  • No H1 headline

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

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (50 characters)

    Your meta description is only 50 characters: “Maker of Things. SaaS, Full Stack. Web Development”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://chardmd.com/sitemap-index.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Richard M. Dimalanta. Maker of Things”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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 /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.

1 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (33 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for chardmd.com and is valid for another 33 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    chardmd.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

    chardmd.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 9 years old

    9 years

    chardmd.com was registered in Feb 2017 through Porkbun LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    chardmd.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix42
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • Only about 0 words

    The homepage has only about 0 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    chardmd.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    chardmd.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • 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.

  • Domain receives no email

    chardmd.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
