Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 5.6 MB51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.6 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.9 MB3 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 351 KiBAbout 351 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
2,264 HTML elements
The page has 2,264 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 661 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Didomi and Hubspot and others), adding 659 KiB and 343 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 108 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WHY WE USE COOKIES With your agreement, we and our 10 partn…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.5 s).
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 74 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (27), scripts 758 KiB (14) and fonts 551 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.80 g of CO₂e: 216.6 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 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h6 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (197 characters)
Your meta description is 197 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
159 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 159 pages on eqs.com and 17 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “AI across your compliance program.”.
Title: 49 characters
Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Compliance, ESG & Governance Software | EQS Group”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.eqs.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage 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://www.eqs.com/sitemap_index.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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,537 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/ and /de all use the title “Compliance, ESG & Governance Software | EQS Group”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without an H1
/contact-our-sales-team has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/zh-hans 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
9 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
security.txt has expired
Your security.txt expired on 2026-09-23, so researchers may not trust its contact details.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (eqs.com).
Valid certificate (126 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for eqs.com and is valid for another 126 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://eqs.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 52 links work
All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
eqs.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
eqs.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 27 years old
27 yearseqs.com was registered in Nov 1998 through Key-Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Nov 2027
eqs.com is registered until Nov 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 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 1,602 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,602 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

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 include:_spf.eqs.com ip4:212.18.1.50 ip4:212.18.21.82 ip4:51.116.169.3 ip4:62.245.147.202 include:spf.protection…”.
