corestack.io does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.1 s47 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.
Improve image delivery
1.8 s · 364 KiB5 images could be 364 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused CSS
670 ms · 95 KiBAbout 95 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 670 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
460 ms · 207 KiBAbout 207 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 296 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,910 HTML elements
The page has 2,910 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Unpkg and Optanon and others), adding 441 KiB and 327 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (66 KiB) is 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.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 123 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 650 KiB (52), images 453 KiB (11) and fonts 339 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
11 text elements with low contrast
11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 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.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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 (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 95 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“CoreStack Acquires BetterCloud”, “Agentic Governance OS” and “CoreStack FinOps”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
16 links crawlers can't follow
16 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
256 internal links, 36 external
The homepage links to 256 pages on corestack.io and 36 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 112 characters
Your meta description is 112 characters: “Unified Agentic Governance OS to securely govern cloud, SaaS, and AI with control of cost, risk, and compliance.”.

AI search readiness
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,667 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

CAA records allow only pki.goog, ssl.com, comodoca.com and godaddy.com to issue certificates for corestack.io, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Content and conversion
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.

SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:u10208008.wl009.sendgrid.net include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:servers…”.

Privacy and tracking
