Speed

9 to fix41
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.2 s · 778 KiB

    119 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (778 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 894 KiB

    About 894 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Intercom and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 732 KiB

    8 images could be 732 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 484 ms

    484 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 484 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 224 ms

    224 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 224 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.

  • 1,501 HTML elements

    The page has 1,501 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.8 s

    22.8 s

    Your largest element takes 22.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Platform Built for the Way Integration Businesses Actua…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 29.6 s

    29.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 607 ms

    607 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 607 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 89 ms

    89 ms

    Real visitors wait 89 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 616 ms

    616 ms

    Real visitors wait 616 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 7.0 MB in 195 requests

    7.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.0 MB in 195 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (96), scripts 2.2 MB (41) and other files 388 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    IQ_hero12.png weighs 857 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (857 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (256 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.98 g of CO₂e: 237.7 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

5 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 48 images without alt text

    48 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings should not be empty (7 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h1 → h4 and h2 → 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. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7782
  • Title is long (86 characters)

    Your title is 86 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “D-Tools | Software That Helps Integration Businesses Win More, Deliver More, Grow More”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Invalid hreflang

    Your hreflang tags are invalid, so Google may show the wrong language version.

  • 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.

  • 156 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 156 pages on d-tools.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 129 characters

    Your meta description is 129 characters: “D-Tools software helps AV and systems integration businesses streamline operations, win more projects, and scale with c…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Platform Built for the Way Integration Businesses Actually Work”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.d-tools.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.d-tools.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • 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 (2,037 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /d-tools-cloud-mobile-app, /d-tools-system-integrator-product-tours and /resource-tags have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 68 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 8 broken images

    8 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.d-tools.com/.

  • 1 third-party cookie

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (d-tools.com).

  • Valid certificate (81 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for d-tools.com and is valid for another 81 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • 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://d-tools.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 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    d-tools.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

    d-tools.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 27 years old

    27 years

    d-tools.com was registered in Nov 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2031

    d-tools.com is registered until Nov 2031.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 1,549 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,549 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Pricing” and “Schedule a Live Demo”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “i3 Program Pricing” and “Register Here”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 42 testimonial or review blocks, 43 customer or partner logos and “more than 1,800 brands”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

85
  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 +ip4:192.254.206.253 +include:spf.protection.outlook.com +include:8890480.spf04.hubspotemail.net +include:zoho.c…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 1.7.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
