Speed
Render-blocking requests
8.3 s57 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 8.3 s.
Reduce unused CSS
6.6 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.6 s faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
4.7 s · 950 KiB950 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 477 KiBAbout 477 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.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 242 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (242 KiB).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, Hotjar and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 398 KiB and 187 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
209 KiB8 images could be 209 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
147 KiB147 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 102 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s

Speed Index: 9.9 s
9.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 35% slower for real visitors

2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 141 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 141 requests on a phone: stylesheets 1.4 MB (52), scripts 1,022 KiB (62) and images 308 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (70 KiB) is 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.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Home | E Source”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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.
70 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 70 pages on esource.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Total clarity. Accelerated impact.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.esource.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.esource.com/sitemap.xml.
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 (927 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/about-e-source has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (esource.com).
Valid certificate (121 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for esource.com and is valid for another 121 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://esource.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 41 links work
All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
esource.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 31 years old
31 yearsesource.com was registered in Nov 1994 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, symantec.com, amazon.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for esource.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Nov 2027
esource.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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 501 words of copy
The homepage carries about 501 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get in Touch”.
3 calls to action

Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
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:_spf.esource_com._d.easydmarc.pro ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
