esker.com website review

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

Your mobile performance score is 73 (desktop: 63). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 119 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (483 KiB).

4 images could be 125 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.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 456 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Facebook and Adroll and others), adding 265 KiB and 237 ms of main-thread time.

About 173 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 272 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The layout shifts by 0.103 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example video_psg_jmb.jpg at 1,186 px wide, shown at 305 px. Resized copies would save about 27 KiB.

5 images further down the page (241 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

3 images (132 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 61.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).

Your title is 93 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Esker : AI & Solutions Automation for the Office of the CFO | Source to Pay and Order to …”.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 154 pages on esker.com and 18 external pages.

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.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /business-process-solutions, whose canonical is /solutions. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 111 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

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

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://content.esker.com/report-gartner-accounts-payable-magic-quadrant-2025.html.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

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

esker.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.

esker.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.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 842 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be esker.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
