Speed

9 to fix45
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    42 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    850 ms · 496 KiB

    56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (496 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 930 ms of main-thread time.

  • Freshchat adds 486 ms

    486 ms

    Freshchat costs a phone 486 ms of main-thread work and 875 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

    450 ms · 102 KiB

    About 102 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    494 KiB

    About 494 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 287 ms

    287 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    20 KiB

    20 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 58 ms

    58 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 58 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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 LCP: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Real visitors wait 5.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 15.3 s

    15.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.7 s

    20.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Your largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Comprehensive Website Protection”. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.7 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 661 ms

    661 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 661 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 146 ms

    146 ms

    Real visitors wait 146 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 173 ms to 158 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.5 s to 3.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 181 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 181 requests on a phone: fonts 4.0 MB (20), scripts 1.6 MB (80) and stylesheets 240 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (49 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.76 g of CO₂e: 211.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7886
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 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.

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Positive tabindex

    1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 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 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8596
  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 66 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on comodo.com and 15 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “Safeguard your devices with Comodo's advanced endpoint protection and protect your websites from malware and cyber thre…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Comprehensive Protection Optimized Performance One Price”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Advanced Website Protection for Unmatched Cyber Defense”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, NewsArticle, Organization and Person.

  • 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.comodo.com/page-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (781 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix78
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /partners-deal.php 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.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /company-2 is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /platform/endpoint-security-bundles and /partners-deal.php have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /antivirus-internet-security, /platform/dragon, /partners and /contact-us took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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 a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 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.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • 6 links through redirect chains

    6 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.comodo.com/platform/dragon/.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (19 days left)

    The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA OV R36 verifies for comodo.com and is valid for another 19 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://comodo.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (35 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    comodo.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

    comodo.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 29 years old

    29 years

    comodo.com was registered in Oct 1997 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    comodo.com is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 556 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 556 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Sign Up Now” and “Buy Now”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 3 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be comodo.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 mx ip4:162.255.26.211 include:spf1.comodo.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf6.comodo.com include…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
