graphisoft.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

9 to fix45
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 424 KiB

    About 424 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 1.1 MB

    14 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 194 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (194 KiB).

  • 10,589 HTML elements

    The page has 10,589 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    710 ms · 162 KiB

    About 162 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 710 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 403 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 938 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 561 KiB and 222 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 108 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.2 s

    20.2 s

    Your largest element takes 20.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This website uses cookies We use cookies to personalise con…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 638 ms

    638 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 638 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 26% faster for real visitors

    -26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 265 ms to 197 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.5 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 103 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 103 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (45), scripts 1.1 MB (28) and fonts 648 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 images (1.3 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 below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (376 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8585
  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Graphisoft | BIM software solutions for AEC experts | United States”.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 8 links with vague text

    8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 74 internal links, 31 external

    The homepage links to 74 pages on graphisoft.com and 31 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Unlock Graphisoft to empower your team to create great architecture. Explore our innovative and award-winning BIM solut…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Best design experience”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.graphisoft.com/en-us/.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.graphisoft.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (1,066 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 2 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /en-us/plans-and-products/archicad-collaborate and /en-us/plans-and-products/archicad-max, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /en-us/partner-solutions, /en-us/plans-and-products, /en-us/pricing and /en-us/campaigns/young-professional-program took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 12 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.graphisoft.com/en-us/.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    37 of 44 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix88
  • 4 broken links to your own pages

    4 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.graphisoft.com/en-us/getting-started (404).

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://graphisoft.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://community.graphisoft.com/.

  • 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 (graphisoft.com).

  • Valid certificate (78 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for graphisoft.com and is valid for another 78 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.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://graphisoft.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    graphisoft.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

    graphisoft.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 31 years old

    31 years

    graphisoft.com was registered in Mar 1995 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2028

    graphisoft.com is registered until Mar 2028.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • 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 757 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 757 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “TRY FOR FREE” and “SEE PRICING”.

  • 22 calls to action

    The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “See pricing”, “Where to buy?” and “Contact us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 67 testimonial or review blocks and 13 customer or partner logos.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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 with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_u.graphisoft.com._spf.dmarcla.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (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: Cookiebot

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