One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix64
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 535 KiB

    13 images could be 535 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    880 ms · 162 KiB

    About 162 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 880 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 19 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    176 KiB

    About 176 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, weglot.com and Unpkg), adding 81 KiB and 63 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 58 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 64. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 585 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67

    10.5 s

    Your largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Short description of the video: Your vision deserves tools …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.7 s

    10.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 339 ms

    339 ms

    Real visitors wait 339 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 343 ms to 378 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 102 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 102 requests on a phone: media 4.7 MB (7), images 1.3 MB (24) and scripts 528 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.03 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.03 g of CO₂e: 243.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • 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 with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 33 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, ImageObject and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 56 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 56 pages on elementor.com and 23 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,566 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (14 KiB, 42 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /products/manage is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /speed-performance has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://lklxnafr.elementor.cloud/cdn-cgi/content?id=NF8BDtPMQoKFHqet4ehinSPWSz13iN4R9HpTj4QIaPY-1793172404.9767873-1.2.1.1-TY9A7Ela7s0LABXvTJR7VoljCLHm4JmD_InmdFiwBS7xyxt0rnjOK5zE1BCw4Jgd (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for elementor.com and is valid for another 89 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://elementor.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    elementor.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 21 years old

    21 years

    elementor.com was registered in Dec 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, sectigo.com and ssl.com to issue certificates for elementor.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Dec 2030

    elementor.com is registered until Dec 2030.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • 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.

  • About 2,285 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,285 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get started”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Get started” and “Learn more”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net include:147438520.spf08.hubspotemail.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening 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

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
