Speed

8 to fix60
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 283 KiB

    About 283 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 251 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (251 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (osano.com, website-files.com and Hubspot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 804 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    500 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • website-files.com adds 193 ms

    193 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 193 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 94 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    13 KiB

    1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    Your largest element takes 14.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “As retail media grows, so does the complexity behind it. Va…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 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
  • Total Blocking Time: 176 ms

    176 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 176 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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: 13.1 MB in 79 requests

    13.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.1 MB in 79 requests on a phone: media 11.1 MB (2), scripts 928 KiB (27) and other files 765 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.72 g of CO₂e: 446.1 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

2 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (52 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 52 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10087
  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Meta description is long (186 characters)

    Your meta description is 186 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “WebPage: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

  • 28 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 28 pages on gotvantage.com and 3 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Retail media, built for the real world.”.

  • Title: 47 characters

    Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “Vantage | The Operating System for Retail Media”.

  • 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://www.gotvantage.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (688 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 13 internal pages checked

    We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 13 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (37 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for gotvantage.com and is valid for another 37 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://gotvantage.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.

  • All 17 links work

    All 17 links checked from your homepage (15 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 72 days

    gotvantage.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    gotvantage.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

    gotvantage.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 11 years old

    11 years

    gotvantage.com was registered in Jan 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 601 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 601 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Talk to our team”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Get in touch”, “Talk to our team” and “Get started”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks and 5 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be gotvantage.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:spf.mail.intercom.io include:customeriomail.com include:1826087.spf02.hubspo…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “mandrill” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Osano

    A consent management tool (Osano) loads with the page.
