flowhub.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 547 KiBAbout 547 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 810 KiB12 images could be 810 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 293 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (293 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Intercom and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 83 KiBAbout 83 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 369 ms
369 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 521 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.
2,515 HTML elements
The page has 2,515 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 191 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 122 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 122 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (54), scripts 1.3 MB (26) and fonts 176 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (33 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.1 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
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 167 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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

5 distorted images
5 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (flowhub.com).
Valid certificate (59 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for flowhub.com and is valid for another 59 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.
http:// redirects to https
http://flowhub.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 55 links work
All 55 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 15 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
flowhub.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
flowhub.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 18 years old

Registered until Sep 2027

Content and conversion
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 1,338 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,338 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and 12 customer or partner logos.

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:_spf.flowhub_com._d.easydmarc.pro -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
