• Page weight: 7.2 MB

  7.2 MB

  Your homepage downloads 7.2 MB on a phone, 999 KiB of it images (13%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

  Mobile_Banner_4b9982c0-9682-4453-948a-ea1d657f4848.webp 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).

  Elements (3)

• 14 images in older formats

  14 images (793 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.

  Elements (5)

• 3 images below the first screen load straight away

  3 images further down the page (149 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  Elements (3)

• About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

  2.05 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.05 g of CO₂e: 246.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  Elements (3)

• Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets (5 elements)

  Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

  4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  Elements (3)

• Orphan list items

  Some list items are not inside a list.

  Elements (3)

• ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

  ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• Malformed lists

  Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  Elements (1)

• 3 images without alt text

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

  Elements (2)

• Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

  Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• Zoom is disabled

  The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  Elements (1)

• 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.

  Elements (1)

• 9 links without text

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

  Elements (3)

• Headings should not be empty (4 elements)

  Headings should not be empty: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

  Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

• Meta description is long (249 characters)

  Your meta description is 249 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  View source

• 129 internal links, 27 external

  The homepage links to 129 pages on decodeage.com and 27 external pages.

• 1 page without a meta description

  /pages/subscribe-and-save has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  Elements (1)

• 1 page without an H1

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

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 45 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 1 broken image

  1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187169190&Ver=2&mid=73f1dec6-97bb-41a4-a2c7-417a09c28ac7&bo=1&sid=7e1cb690dad711f1989c5f1d88f5d5a0&vid=7e1ceb20dad711f1aea0c74002961f80&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

• 62 small tap targets

  62 of 142 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 4 JavaScript errors while loading

  4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getRegistration')”.

• Short HSTS lifetime

  HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

• 1 link through redirect chains

  1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://decodeage.com/account.

• 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.

• 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.

• No security.txt

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

• No CAA record

  decodeage.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

  decodeage.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.

• Thin social proof

  Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

• 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 1,323 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 1,323 words of visible text.

• Urgency cues

  The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

• 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.

• 30 cookies set on arrival

  30

  Opening the homepage sets 30 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

• 62 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 62 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
