Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 5.3 MB11 images could be 5.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Unpkg and others), adding 652 KiB and 306 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
189 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (189 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
189 KiBAbout 189 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 321 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 130 ms
130 msYour server sent the HTML in 130 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sYour largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.1 s
7.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
11 images without width and height
11 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 85 ms
85 msScripts block the page for only 85 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004
0.004The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.9 MB in 102 requests
15.9 MBYour homepage downloads 15.9 MB in 102 requests on a phone: media 7.6 MB (1), images 7.3 MB (47) and scripts 545 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
juggling-greentrails.jpg weighs 507 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
logo.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
5 images in older formats
5 images (847 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (290 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit
4.49 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.49 g of CO₂e: 539.3 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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)
Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
41 images without alt text
41 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (32 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 32 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 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“ARE youR Leaders equipped”, “Ready TO Leverage Chaos?” and “25+ years32 countries6 continents”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
48 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 48 pages on danthurmon.com and 11 external pages.

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://danthurmon.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (724 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 36 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /keynote/shift-trajectory, whose canonical is /shift-trajectory. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/speaking has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/keynote/improve-alignment took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/danthurmon/ (999).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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 Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (danthurmon.com).
Valid certificate (55 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for danthurmon.com and is valid for another 55 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://danthurmon.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
danthurmon.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.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 30 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 650 words of copy
The homepage carries about 650 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
10 calls to action
The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Talk to Dan About Your Event”, “Learn More” and “Talk to Dan about your goals”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be danthurmon.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:184.173.239.119 a mx include:websitewelcome.com include:emailsrvr.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
