Speed

11 to fix31
  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    610 ms · 2.0 MB

    About 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    947 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (947 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 769 ms

    769 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 769 ms of main-thread work and 1,018 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 342 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,440 HTML elements

    The page has 2,440 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Wistia adds 114 ms

    114 ms

    Wistia costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 581 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.

  • Optimizely adds 114 ms

    114 ms

    Optimizely costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 475 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 64 KiB

    About 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    145 KiB

    5 images could be 145 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    52 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 113 ms

    113 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 113 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 37.5 s

    37.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 37.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Your largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “All your teams. All your AI agents. One place to run custom…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 401 ms

    401 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 285 ms to 338 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 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: 5.9 MB in 152 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 152 requests on a phone: scripts 4.2 MB (71), HTML 1,009 KiB (3) and media 345 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9397
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (56 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 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: 41 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 110 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 110 pages on front.com and 17 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 148 characters

    Your meta description is 148 characters: “Deliver exceptional service with Front, the platform where support, sales, operations, and AI agents come together to r…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “All your teams. All your AI agents. One place to run customer work, together.”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Front | Customer service platform, powered by AI”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://front.com/sitemaps-1-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,445 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 29 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /product-tour has 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 /product/compass-AI-agent-performance-monitoring, whose canonical is /product/compass-ai-agent-performance-monitoring. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 77 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 7397
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

9 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (79 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for front.com and is valid for another 79 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.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    front.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

    front.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 28 years old

    28 years

    front.com was registered in Sep 1998 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    front.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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 1,123 words of copy

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request demo”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Request a demo” and “Try for free”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks, 14 customer or partner logos, a star rating, 13 trust badges and “Over 9,300 businesses”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject 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.google.com include:4766782.spf02.hubspotemail.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10
