Speed

6 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    8.3 s

    57 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 MB

    About 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 KiB

    950 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 477 KiB

    About 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

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 242 KiB

    12 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 KiB

    8 images could be 209 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    147 KiB

    147 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 342 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Real visitors wait 4.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Your largest element takes 9.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We and our vendors and partners use cookies and other track…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Visually, 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

    +35%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 89 ms

    89 ms

    Real visitors wait 89 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 21 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 141 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 25 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9276
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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 to fix95
  • 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
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “_paq is not defined”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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 years

    esource.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

2 to fix88
  • 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

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact us” and “Get in Touch”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Matomo.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

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:_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

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before 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

    4

    Opening 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.
