Speed

6 to fix77
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 120 KiB

    About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 322 KiB

    About 322 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 541 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,963 HTML elements

    The page has 1,963 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Other Google APIs/SDKs, Google Tag Manager and New Relic and others), adding 338 KiB and 160 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    54 KiB

    2 images could be 54 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix81
  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Your largest element takes 4.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Partner with us to develop your most precious resource, you…”.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 172 ms

    172 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 172 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (77 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.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 42.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.2 MB in 47 requests

    1.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 47 requests on a phone: scripts 784 KiB (20), images 196 KiB (7) and stylesheets 149 KiB (12). That is a lean page.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8091
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (60 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 60 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • 7 form fields without a label

    7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 45 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7780
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Homepage - Exec-Comm”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 84 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 84 pages on exec-comm.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Connect. Communicate. Motivate.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.exec-comm.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.exec-comm.com/sitemap_index.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 (1,267 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /solutions_training-for-groups, /solutions_workshops, /solutions_coaching, /solutions_enhanced-services, /solutions_whats-trending and /ec-events and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /solutions_workshops took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 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

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.exec-comm.com/wp-content/themes/exec-comm/assets/img/placeholder.gif.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://www2.exec-comm.com/Register.

  • 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.

  • 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 (exec-comm.com).

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for exec-comm.com and is valid for another 77 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://exec-comm.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 (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    exec-comm.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

    exec-comm.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 29 years old

    29 years

    exec-comm.com was registered in Aug 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    exec-comm.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 121 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 1,804 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,804 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.

  • 24 calls to action

    The homepage has 24 calls to action, for example “Book - Simply Said”, “Book - Selling Your Expertise” and “Contact”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

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.mailjet.com include:outlook.com include:s._spf.pardot.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
