Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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, Google CDN and Vimeo and others), adding 8.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 202 ms
202 msVimeo costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 6.0 MB 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.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 130 KiB5 images could be 130 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 119 KiBAbout 119 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 408 ms
408 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 408 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 308 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (308 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Google CDN adds 294 ms
294 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 294 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 271 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,824 HTML elements
The page has 1,824 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 598 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.
Legacy JavaScript
42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 10.1 MB in 132 requests
10.1 MBYour homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 132 requests on a phone: other files 5.2 MB (54), scripts 3.2 MB (39) and images 765 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ATF26-Hero-Mobile-2371012-1560x1360px-06122026-b-_1___1_.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit
2.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.86 g of CO₂e: 342.8 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
Hidden but focusable
11 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (8 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Contentinfo 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 contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
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 76 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
61 links with vague text
61 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “GDIT - Art of the possible.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
106 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 106 pages on gdit.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 138 characters

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.gdit.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (895 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

Best practices
18 small tap targets
18 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 third-party cookies
3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

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 “Framing 'https://www.google.com/' violates the following report-only Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestor…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed

No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (gdit.com).
Valid certificate (35 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for gdit.com and is valid for another 35 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

All 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
gdit.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 23 years old
23 yearsgdit.com was registered in Dec 2002 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only comodoca.com, digicert.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for gdit.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Dec 2029
gdit.com is registered until Dec 2029.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 915 words of copy
The homepage carries about 915 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

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:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.valigov.email ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (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.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
