Speed

4 to fix
  • 4,596 HTML elements

    The page has 4,596 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Font display

    350 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 152 ms

    152 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and trustindex.io and others), adding 677 KiB and 250 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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: 93 ms

    93 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 93 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 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.

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

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.3 MB in 289 requests

    6.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 289 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (157), scripts 709 KiB (53) and fonts 456 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (207 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.78 g of CO₂e: 213.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7486
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (3 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 3 buttons without a name

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

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 51 form fields without a label

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

  • 7 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 120 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 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10090
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 108 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 108 pages on expertproperties.com and 23 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Explore premium apartments, villas, and off-plan properties in Dubai with Expert Properties — an award-winning real est…”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Expert Properties | Buy, Rent & Invest in Dubai Real Estate”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

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

  • 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://expertproperties.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (2,395 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 22 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://wa.me/wa.me/+971553505110 (404).

  • No HSTS header

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

  • 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 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 (expertproperties.com).

  • Valid certificate (40 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for expertproperties.com and is valid for another 40 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    expertproperties.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

    expertproperties.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 22 years old

    22 years

    expertproperties.com was registered in Feb 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2029

    expertproperties.com is registered until Feb 2029.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • Only about 178 words

    The homepage has only about 178 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Buy”, “Contact” and “Call”.

  • 18 short forms

    18 short forms (7 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 63 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 59 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 14 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    expertproperties.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:zohomail.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
