graphisoft.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 424 KiBAbout 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 s9 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 MB14 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 KiB6 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
45/100Your 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 KiBAbout 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 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills 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.

Total Blocking Time: 638 ms
638 msScripts 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 103 requests
4.0 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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.

AI search readiness

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
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.

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

Registered until Mar 2028

Content and conversion
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

Email authentication
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
3Before 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.
