Speed

7 to fix63
  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 139 KiB

    About 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    534 KiB

    1 image could be 534 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 364 ms

    364 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 364 ms of main-thread work and 193 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.

  • 2,373 HTML elements

    The page has 2,373 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 194 KiB and 364 ms of main-thread time.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 206 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: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 365 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 84 ms

    84 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 84 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix0
  • 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.5 s).

  • Real-user LCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.21

    0.21

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 285 ms

    285 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 285 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

2 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.2 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.28 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 33.6 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: 1,012 KiB in 9 requests

    1,012 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 1,012 KiB in 9 requests on a phone: images 594 KiB (3), scripts 193 KiB (1) and stylesheets 158 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

5 to fix76
  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes

    Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes (3 elements).

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 98 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “JD Edwards | NetSuite | Oracle EPM | Oracle ERP Cloud - Circular Edge”.

  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 195 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 195 pages on circularedge.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Overcome Obstacles, Deliver More Value with AI”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://www.circularedge.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 21 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /about/careers, whose canonical is /careers. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /about/careers and /resources/webinars took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

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.

  • 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 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://circularedge.com/about/careers/.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (40 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for circularedge.com and is valid for another 40 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://circularedge.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 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    circularedge.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

    circularedge.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 26 years old

    26 years

    circularedge.com was registered in Apr 2000 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2029

    circularedge.com is registered until Apr 2029.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • 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 1,315 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,315 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Call: (877) 533-0002”, “Contact” and “Talk to an Expert”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 testimonial or review blocks and “300+ Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:transmail.net include:spf.happyfox.com include:zcsend.net include:spf…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
