Speed

5 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    12.4 s · 2.4 MB

    About 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.6 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 254 KiB

    About 254 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 40). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 387 KiB

    10 images could be 387 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

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

  • Document request latency

    8 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 55 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 235 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • First Contentful Paint: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 19.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.6 s

    19.6 s

    Your largest element takes 19.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We build, buy, and co-build products that scale.”.

  • Speed Index: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 19.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.6 s

    19.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 39 ms

    39 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 39 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 32 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 32 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (1), images 2.2 MB (24) and stylesheets 328 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 18 images in older formats

    18 images (2.1 MB) 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.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    186 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rakesh-patel.jpg at 800 px wide, shown at 76 px. Resized copies would save about 186 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (141 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 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 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10077
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (75 characters)

    Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Fountane | Venture Studio | We Build, Buy, and Co-Build Products That Scale”.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization, Service and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “Fountane is a venture studio. We build, buy, and co-build high-scale products, taking equity and working at cost when w…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://fountane.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix75
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 817 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

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

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • 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.

  • 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 (fountane.com).

  • Valid certificate (36 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for fountane.com and is valid for another 36 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://fountane.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

    fountane.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

    fountane.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 9 years old

    9 years

    fountane.com was registered in Jan 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2035

    fountane.com is registered until Jan 2035.

Content and conversion

4 to fix40
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 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 817 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 817 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start a venture →” and “Book a 30-min call”.

Email authentication

2 to fix10
  • No DMARC policy

    fountane.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 SPF record

    fountane.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • Email authentication score: 10/100

    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
  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 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).

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
