Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 449 KiB12 images could be 449 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 150 KiBAbout 150 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 62 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (62 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, juvoleads.com and cleantalk.org and others), adding 414 KiB and 139 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 343 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 34 ms
34 msYour server sent the HTML in 34 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.5 s
9.5 sYour largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “To provide the best experiences, we use technologies like c…”.
Time to Interactive: 9.5 s
9.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 26 ms
26 msScripts block the page for only 26 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 91 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 91 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (24), scripts 428 KiB (30) and fonts 394 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
cii-hero-team-new.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
3 images in older formats
3 images (370 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h6 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
52 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 52 pages on ciinc.com and 7 external pages.
8 checks passed

AI search readiness
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, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; logo would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,785 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/azure-virtual-desktop has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /managed-it-services-raleigh-nc, whose canonical is /managed-it-services. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
5 pages slow to respond

Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://ciinc.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
2 redirects before the homepage
Opening https://ciinc.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed

The homepage is served over HTTPS (cii.cloud).
Valid certificate (77 days left)

HTTP/2

All 35 links work

Domain and trust
No CAA record
cii.cloud 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
cii.cloud'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

SPF in place (~all)
