Speed

  • Google's speed test didn't respond

    Google's speed test didn't respond for this site, so speed and Core Web Vitals are not measured here. Your full playbook measures them.

Core Web Vitals

Not measured in this review.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.07 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.07 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.07 g of CO₂e: 8.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 263 KiB

    263 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 263 KiB on a phone, 36 KiB of it images (14%). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

1 to fix97
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

1 checks passed
  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 31 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fix77
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (8 characters)

    Your title is only 8 characters: “David Ch”. 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.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 71 characters

    Your meta description is 71 characters: “This is David's personal website, built using Shipper.now by the way :)”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://chdavid.com/sitemap.xml.

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

2 to fix87
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to resource at 'https://shipper-api-production-3b99.up.railway.app/api/v1/analytics/page-view' from origin 'http…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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 (chdavid.com).

  • Valid certificate (36 days left)

    The certificate from SSL Corporation · Cloudflare TLS Issuing ECC CA 4 verifies for chdavid.com and is valid for another 36 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.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://chdavid.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    chdavid.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

    chdavid.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 7 years old

    7 years

    chdavid.com was registered in May 2019 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    chdavid.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • 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.

  • 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 analytics detected

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

  • 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 83 words

    The homepage has only about 83 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.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    chdavid.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 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.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx ip4:67.222.3.158 ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 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
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
