dell.com website review

70 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 71). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, mPulse and dellcdn.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 155 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 398 ms of main-thread work and 590 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.

mPulse costs a phone 345 ms of main-thread work and 61 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.

dellcdn.com costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.

The page has 2,682 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Optanon costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 386 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Desktop scores 71 but mobile only 38. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

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.

Your largest element takes 13.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 33.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 223 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 914 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 228 ms to 246 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 296 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (103), other files 571 KiB (115) and images 289 KiB (60). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example pb16250-office-setup-dell-pro-plus-16-p2425he-wl5024-km7321w at 1,280 px wide, shown at 257 px. Resized copies would save about 112 KiB.

3 images further down the page (222 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (63 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Structured data found (Organization and VideoObject) but with 2 problems, for example “VideoObject: thumbnailUrl is not an absolute URL ("//i.dell.com/is/image/DellContent/content/dam/ss…”.

No XML sitemap at https://www.dell.com/index-sr-sitemap.xml.gz, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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

The homepage links to 358 pages on dell.com and 29 external pages.

/support/mps/en-us/myproducts has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /support/mps/en-us/myproducts, whose canonical is /support/mps/en-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/en-us/learn/it-infrastructure/lp/private-cloud/disaggregated-infrastructure has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 194 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

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

3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

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

Large scripts ship without source maps.

9 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.dell.com/premier/home (500).

Your certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G3 TLS ECC SHA384 2020 CA1 expires in 12 days. If it doesn't renew automatically, visitors get a security warning.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.delltechnologies.com/asset/en-us/products/storage/legal-pricing/dr-guarantee-tc-powerscale.pdf (404).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 1 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

Opening https://dell.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

4 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.delltechnologies.com/partner/en-us/auth/partner-portal.htm.

Your security.txt expired on 2026-04-17, so researchers may not trust its contact details.

dell.com is registered until Nov 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

dell.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.

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.

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

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

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

The homepage carries about 2,483 words of visible text.

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

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.

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

Opening the homepage sets 48 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
