Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 1.5 MB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 561 ms
561 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 561 ms of main-thread work and 541 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
539 KiBAbout 539 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 241 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
60 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 60 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
46 KiB1 image could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.4 MB in 88 requests
14.4 MBYour homepage downloads 14.4 MB in 88 requests on a phone: media 12.8 MB (1), scripts 1.2 MB (23) and images 302 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (196 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.09 g of CO₂e: 490.4 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
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 29 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 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 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 meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), 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.
129 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 129 pages on edenproject.com and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
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.
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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,081 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/about-us has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices
6 small tap targets
6 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (edenproject.com).
Valid certificate (81 days left)
The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign GCC R3 DV TLS CA 2020 verifies for edenproject.com and is valid for another 81 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://edenproject.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
edenproject.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
edenproject.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old

Registered until Mar 2027
edenproject.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 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 808 words of copy
The homepage carries about 808 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book tickets”.

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx a:smtp.edenproject.com ip4:79.123.35.98 ip4:79.123.35.99 ip4:83.166.170.89 ip4:80.194.208.90 ip4:217.10.132…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking

11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
