datalinksoftware.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (assetcdn.net, cdn-cookieyes.com and wpmucdn.com and others), adding 599 KiB and 199 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 300 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 59 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.23 g of CO₂e: 27.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 819 KiB in 285 requests

    819 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 819 KiB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 497 KiB (17), images 106 KiB (10) and stylesheets 100 KiB (11). That is a lean page.

  • 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.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9697
  • 17 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 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 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “Home | DataLink”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (193 characters)

    Your meta description is 193 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 7 links with vague text

    7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 66 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on datalinksoftware.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Empower Better Outcomes With Data-Driven Insights”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://datalinksoftware.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, Person and WebPage.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://datalinksoftware.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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 (524 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    /solutions/evoke360 and /point-of-care/ribbon have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /solutions, /data-insights/business-financial-performance-management, /data-insights/quality-management and /data-insights/utilization-management took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 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

2 to fixGoogle 7386
  • Scrolls sideways on phones

    On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://datalinksoftware.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure font 'http:…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (31 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for datalinksoftware.com and is valid for another 31 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://datalinksoftware.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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 87 days

    datalinksoftware.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    datalinksoftware.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

    datalinksoftware.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 16 years old

    16 years

    datalinksoftware.com was registered in Jan 2010 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 460 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 460 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Request Demo” and “LEARN MORE”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Matomo.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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, 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 a:mail.datalinksoftware.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:24435880.spf08.hubspotemail.net include:a…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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