Speed

3 to fix87
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 79 KiB

    1 image could be 79 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.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 133 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 12 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix93
  • Largest content (LCP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Your largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is element render delay (1.9 s).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.0 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • 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

100
  • About 0.08 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.08 g of CO₂e: 9.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 281 KiB in 29 requests

    281 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 281 KiB in 29 requests on a phone: fonts 131 KiB (5), images 121 KiB (16) and stylesheets 16 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • 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 9798
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (162 characters)

    Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 46 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on encore.tech and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Engineered for outcomes.”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Encore Technologies — What's next for your infrastructure?”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://encore.tech/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://encore.tech/sitemap-index.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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (518 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 27 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page with very little text

    /dcpolicies has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 12 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (encore.tech).

  • Valid certificate (88 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for encore.tech and is valid for another 88 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://encore.tech redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 16 links work

    All 16 links checked from your homepage (13 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 39 days

    encore.tech is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    encore.tech 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

    encore.tech'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 10 years old

    10 years

    encore.tech was registered in Dec 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

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

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 316 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 316 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT →” and “CONTACT ENCORE →”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact→”, “Contact Encore→” and “Contact us→”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

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 include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 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).
