Speed

4 to fix77
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.8 s

    51 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

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

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 128 KiB

    About 128 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 95 KiB

    1 image could be 95 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (sleeknote.com, Drip and Cloudflare), adding 91 KiB and 71 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    40 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 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: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 177 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 59 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix73
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

3 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.039

    0.039

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.039, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (180 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.38 g of CO₂e: 45.9 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: 1.3 MB in 81 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 81 requests on a phone: images 699 KiB (8), stylesheets 269 KiB (54) and fonts 265 KiB (8). 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

5 to fixGoogle 9394
  • 31 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner 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.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 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 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“The World’s First Open Source SD-WAN & SASE”, “The World's First Open Source SD-WAN & SASE” and “SD-WAN Explained”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 6 links with vague text

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

  • 142 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 142 pages on flexiwan.com and 12 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “3 World Firsts for SD-WAN & SASE: First Open Source; First App Store; First SaaS Business Model. Explore SD-WAN Benefit…”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “SD-WAN & SASE - The World's First Open Source | flexiWAN”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://flexiwan.com/resources/sd-wan/.

  • 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://flexiwan.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 (923 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

6 to fix45
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /partners/hardware-partners, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /news is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /3-simple-steps-to-start-using-flexiwan all use the title “SD-WAN & SASE - The World's First Open Source | flexiWAN”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 11 pages without a meta description

    /pricing, /partners, /partners/channel-partners, /partners/technology-partners, /webinars and /white-papers and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /3-simple-steps-to-start-using-flexiwan, whose canonical is /resources/sd-wan. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /pricing and /academy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /pricing and /partners/channel-partners took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9292
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Double Drip script detected. Account '6812937' is overwriting account '6812937'.”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix71
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://flexiwan.com/partners/hardware-partners/ (404).

  • 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 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (61 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for flexiwan.com and is valid for another 61 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://flexiwan.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

    flexiwan.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

    flexiwan.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 8 years old

    8 years

    flexiwan.com was registered in Apr 2018 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    flexiwan.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • 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 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 535 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 535 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Contact Us” and “Learn more”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

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.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com ip4:52.87.68.125 ip6:2600:1f18:2218:38ff:80b3:5815:bdfa:55ba -a…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
