One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

11 to fix33
  • Improve image delivery

    11.9 s · 2.4 MB

    10 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.5 s · 2.2 MB

    56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.2 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 2.8 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 904 ms

    904 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 904 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 686 ms

    686 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 686 ms of main-thread work and 872 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 342 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • JSDelivr CDN adds 339 ms

    339 ms

    JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 339 ms of main-thread work and 27 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 40.8 s

    40.8 s

    Your largest element takes 40.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “top-hero-light-optimized-1”.

  • Time to Interactive: 46.8 s

    46.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 46.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 32 images without width and height

    32 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 81 ms to 85 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 742 ms

    742 ms

    Real visitors wait 742 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix35
  • Page weight: 12.4 MB in 135 requests

    12.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.4 MB in 135 requests on a phone: images 6.9 MB (32), scripts 2.6 MB (46) and media 2.6 MB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images over 500 KB

    4 images weigh 6.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (6.4 MB) 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    190 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Best Inventions_2025 - Best Inventions Seal - on Transparent at 5,139 px wide, shown at 55 px. Resized copies would save about 190 KiB.

  • About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.51 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.51 g of CO₂e: 421.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9096
  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 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: 43 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Move further and faster, fearlessly”, “Move further and faster, fearlessly” and “Get in Touch”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 51 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on cionic.com and 18 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “Cionic creates bionic clothing that re-educates muscles to improve mobility and independence, using real-time adaptive …”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Cionic | Bionic Clothing for Mobility & Independence”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cionic.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: VideoObject.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.cionic.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (1,081 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix58
  • 1 page without a title

    /rxform has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /prescribers declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /prescribers all use the title “Cionic | Bionic Clothing for Mobility & Independence”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /assessment, /rxform, /a and /va_provider have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /assessment, /rxform and /a have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /legal has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343129058&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=470de7af-b5ff-49aa-b9d3-e4c7bdf174dd&bo=1&sid=defb3290d8c411f190c815c148623034&vid=defb3380d8c411f1bd4721b76fe016a7&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 small tap target

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

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

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (54 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for cionic.com and is valid for another 54 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cionic.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.

  • All 33 links work

    All 33 links checked from your homepage (22 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cionic.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

    cionic.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 14 years old

    14 years

    cionic.com was registered in Feb 2012 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    cionic.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 535 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 535 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “See pricing and ordering” and “Request In-service”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks, 9 customer or partner logos and 8 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cionic.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:1278314a1.spf2.netcorecloud.net include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
