Speed

9 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Hubspot and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    979 KiB

    About 979 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 86 KiB

    About 86 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 612 ms

    612 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 612 ms of main-thread work and 678 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    553 KiB

    79 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (553 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 118 ms

    118 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 368 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    249 KiB

    1 image could be 249 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 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: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 20.9 s

    20.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Your largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Get an Ally in Your Technology Journey”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 551 ms

    551 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 551 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 90 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors wait 0.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 100 ms

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 389 ms

    389 ms

    Real visitors wait 389 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 175 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (53), images 1.1 MB (72) and fonts 231 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (288 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 115.9 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 7987
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (5 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    3 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (8 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don'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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (21 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 61 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 11 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Managed IT Services & Solutions for Canadian Enterprises | Compugen”.

  • 55 internal links, 73 external

    The homepage links to 55 pages on compugen.com and 73 external pages.

7 checks passed

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,279 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (24 KiB, 110 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    /en-ca/data-ai and /en-ca/asset-management have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7370
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343178240&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=16d47207-0e1b-493f-801d-cd15d58389f2&bo=1&sid=99fd0fc0d2c711f193a10b04225cb2dd&vid=99fd37e0d2c711f1ad7ad30850c4b175&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are 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.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • 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.

  • 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 (compugen.com).

  • Valid certificate (79 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for compugen.com and is valid for another 79 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://compugen.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 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (33 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    compugen.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 29 years old

    29 years

    compugen.com was registered in Apr 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, digicert.com, amazontrust.com and sectigo.com to issue certificates for compugen.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    compugen.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 1,333 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,333 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Join Us”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Join Us” and “Subscribe + Connect”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar and HubSpot.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be compugen.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 ip4:204.187.93.0/24 ip4:68.71.54.142 include:spf.protection.outlook.com ip4:203.101.22.131 ip4:209.17.115.0/24 i…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 29 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 1.11.2, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
