Speed

7 to fix40
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.3 s

    58 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.1 s · 344 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (344 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 590 KiB

    17 images could be 590 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 125 KiB

    About 125 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 75 KiB

    About 75 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 678 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts and azurefd.net), adding 143 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix35
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    Your largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.772

    0.772

    The layout shifts by 0.772 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 19 images without width and height

    19 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.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 133 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 133 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (26), scripts 331 KiB (37) and fonts 325 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (256 KiB) 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.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (262 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.5 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

4 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 43 text elements with low contrast

    43 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h4 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 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: 42 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9278
  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “Home - Construct-X”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (358 characters)

    Your meta description is 358 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Construct-X-PTAG-White-Logo…”.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at construct-x.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 24 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on construct-x.com and 5 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Unlock new opportunities, achieve reliable performance and predictable results.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://construct-x.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://construct-x.com/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.

3 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (918 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (22 KiB, 76 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /about has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 7 pages slow to respond

    /technology-services, /staffing-services, /awp-toolkit, /about, /customers and /partnerships and 1 other took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 10 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://construct-x.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor-pro/assets/css/widget-mega-menu.min.c…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix88
  • 3 broken external links

    3 links to other sites are dead, for example https://constructx-4d1b7dd2a5-cacxdwbhewc8effq.z02.azurefd.net/strategic-consulting/ (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (construct-x.com).

  • Valid certificate (69 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for construct-x.com and is valid for another 69 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://construct-x.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    construct-x.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

    construct-x.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 13 years old

    13 years

    construct-x.com was registered in Mar 2013 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    construct-x.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 666 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 666 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “Book a consultation”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Book a Consultation” and “Book a consultation”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (6 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Email authentication

1 to fix85
  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 redirect=construct-x.com.hosted.spf-report.com”.

  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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
  • DMARC policy: reject

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

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
