Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.2 s43 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 116 KiBAbout 116 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 126 KiB4 images could be 126 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and jQuery CDN and others), adding 388 KiB and 220 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 18 KiBAbout 18 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 84 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

Main-thread work: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 669 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.0 s
12.0 sYour largest element takes 12.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “rm373batch2-blogbanner-08”. Most of its time is resource load delay (6.5 s).
Speed Index: 14.0 s
14.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sThe first text or image appears after 4.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 12.2 s
12.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
22 images without width and height
22 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: 0.019
0.019The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 46 ms
46 msScripts block the page for only 46 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 122 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 122 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (36), scripts 497 KiB (33) and stylesheets 176 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (1.3 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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 95.3 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
20 text elements with low contrast
20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Custom Software Development, Data Analytics and IT Security | CODICE”.
29 links with vague text
29 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
98 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 98 pages on codicetech.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 109 characters
Your meta description is 109 characters: “CODICE is a trusted technology partner delivering tailored solutions to government agencies and corporations.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://codicetech.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: ImageObject, NewsArticle, Organization, Person and WebPage.
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://codicetech.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (1,613 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /about, whose canonical is /about-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
11 pages without an H1
/services, /about, /contact-page, /markets, /our-industries and /data-analytics-and-business-intelligence and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
/about, /permit-system-modernization, /data-analytics-and-business-intelligence and /cloud-migration-and-modernization took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://web.facebook.com/CodiceTechDC.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (codicetech.com).
Valid certificate (28 days left)
The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for codicetech.com and is valid for another 28 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://codicetech.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 29 links work
All 29 links checked from your homepage (25 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
codicetech.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
codicetech.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 yearscodicetech.com was registered in Jun 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2027
codicetech.com is registered until Jun 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 51 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,074 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,074 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.
2 short forms

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 5 phone links and 3 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be codicetech.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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 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 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
