dfo.no does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.6 s · 760 KiB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (760 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 207 KiBAbout 207 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 130 KiBAbout 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 93 KiB5 images could be 93 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
400 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (skyra.no, Cloudflare CDN and JSDelivr CDN), adding 230 KiB and 115 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 199 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 114 ms
114 msYour server sent the HTML in 114 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.8 s
5.8 sYour largest element takes 5.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Nødvendige informasjonskapsler gjør at nettsidene våre fung…”.
Time to Interactive: 7.0 s
7.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.8 s
3.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 153 ms to 155 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
4 images in older formats
4 images (167 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.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (190 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.27 g of CO₂e: 32.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 968 KiB in 44 requests
968 KiBYour homepage downloads 968 KiB in 44 requests on a phone: scripts 464 KiB (12), images 235 KiB (20) and stylesheets 162 KiB (6). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
96 internal links, 19 external
The homepage links to 96 pages on dfo.no and 19 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “DFØ | Direktoratet for forvaltning og økonomistyring”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.dfo.no/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.dfo.no/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (607 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /om-dfo/kontakt-oss/kundesenter-p%C3%A5-nett, whose canonical is /om-dfo/kontakt-oss/kundesenter-pa-nett. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (dfo.no).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for dfo.no and is valid for another 47 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://dfo.no redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 55 links work
All 55 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 15 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
dfo.no 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
dfo.no'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 15 years old
15 yearsdfo.no was registered in Sep 2011 through Domeneshop AS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 427 words of copy
The homepage carries about 427 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
3 short forms
3 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Email authentication
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 ip4:195.18.142.39 ip4:159.216.119.146 ip4:161.38.206.55 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org i…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
4 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
