Speed

12 to fix40
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.8 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 362 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (362 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 MB

    5 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 631 ms

    631 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 631 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 68 KiB

    About 68 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 396 ms

    396 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 396 ms of main-thread work and 733 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Facebook adds 269 ms

    269 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 269 ms of main-thread work and 249 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 280 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 42 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 40. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix49
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.4 s

    20.4 s

    Your largest element takes 20.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.0 s

    22.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 652 ms

    652 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 652 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 102 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 102 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (37), images 2.1 MB (23) and other files 361 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (715 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.41 g of CO₂e: 169.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 7792
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 24 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Your IT partner for the digital era.” and “Custom-built technology solutions, wherever you a…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 10 links crawlers can't follow

    10 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 8 links with vague text

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

  • 84 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 84 pages on eswit.com and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “With 25+ years of experience, ESW IT consultant and advisor team is here to guide you through major strategic decisions…”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “IT Consultant and Advisor | ESW IT Business Advisors”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://eswit.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, Place, ProfessionalService and WebPage.

  • 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://eswit.com/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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (708 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 23 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /products/hp, whose canonical is /wp-content/uploads/2024/08/hp.esw_.gemstone_800_700series.mp4. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 19 small tap targets

    19 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

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

  • 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 security.txt

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

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (eswit.com).

  • Valid certificate (76 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for eswit.com and is valid for another 76 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://eswit.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (39 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    eswit.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

    eswit.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 15 years old

    15 years

    eswit.com was registered in Jun 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    eswit.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 form on the homepage

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

  • 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 587 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 587 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “BOOK A CALL”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “BOOK A CALL” and “LEARN MORE”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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 with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:smtp.smileback.com include:spf.onlinebackupsolution.com include:sendgrid.net include:24461316.spf03.hubs…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
