Speed

9 to fix29
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    8.7 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 8.7 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.8 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 706 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 29

    29/100

    Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.8 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 Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.0 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.5 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 333 ms

    333 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    321 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (321 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Improve image delivery

    12 KiB

    2 images could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Total Blocking Time: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 4.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Your largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “1 in 3 professional logins use a weak or compromised passwo…”.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 204 ms to 204 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors wait 0.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 171 ms

    171 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.04

    0.04

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.04 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 410 ms

    410 ms

    Real visitors wait 410 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.063

    0.063

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.063, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB in 163 requests

    5.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 163 requests on a phone: scripts 3.1 MB (46), fonts 688 KiB (12) and other files 609 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    image 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).

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.54 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.54 g of CO₂e: 185.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 9392
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 69 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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Prevent credential breaches” and “Committed to compliance”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 74 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 74 pages on dashlane.com and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 107 characters

    Your meta description is 107 characters: “Top-rated password manager and credential protection solution for enterprises, businesses, and individuals.”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Dashlane: Password management & credential security platform”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.dashlane.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.dashlane.com/sitemap-dallas-react.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Parts of the site are closed to 3 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

2 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (803 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 21 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 1 page with very little text

    /download has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://app.adjust.com/jq0xdf.

  • 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.

9 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (dashlane.com).

  • Valid certificate (33 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for dashlane.com and is valid for another 33 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://dashlane.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 57 links work

    All 57 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 17 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dashlane.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 15 years old

    15 years

    dashlane.com was registered in Mar 2011 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    dashlane.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    dashlane.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix70
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 661 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 661 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Sales” and “Request a demo”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Start a free trial”, “Pricing” and “Request a demo”.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

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

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf2.dashlane.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:mktomail.com include:mg-spf.g…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
