Speed

100

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    9 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 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.

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.00 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.00 g of CO₂e: 0.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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.

  • Page weight: 11 KiB in 4 requests

    11 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 11 KiB in 4 requests on a phone: stylesheets 5 KiB (1), images 4 KiB (2) and HTML 2 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9694

  • 39 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No main landmark

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed

  • Every image has alt text

    All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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.

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

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678

  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343179489&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=d85f0ea1-9eb9-4e84-af3d-31ea15a060d1&bo=1&sid=db7a41a0e05611f1a7c9e97536409f81&vid=db7a2610e05611f19f78eb8f9386cf91&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • 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 ()”.

2 checks passed

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    29 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93

  • 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 1,247 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,247 words of visible text.

6 checks passed

  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book a Demo” and “Book Your Demo →”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Contact Enrichment”, “Contact Us” and “Pricing”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 27 cookies set on arrival

    27

    Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies, 9 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed

  • Consent tool: Termly

    A consent management tool (Termly) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at crelate.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
