Speed

13 to fix26
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 519 KiB

    About 519 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 484 KiB

    46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (484 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 85). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 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 (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 757 ms

    757 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 757 ms of main-thread work and 706 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 736 ms

    736 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 736 ms of main-thread work and 506 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 566 KiB

    13 images could be 566 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 82 KiB

    About 82 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 500 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • hs-sites.com adds 287 ms

    287 ms

    hs-sites.com costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 705 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.

  • Hubspot adds 291 ms

    291 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 291 ms of main-thread work and 184 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

    300 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 85 but mobile only 26. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 22 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix31
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Digital Transformation with Microsoft Cloud Solutions Your …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.4 s

    19.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 929 ms

    929 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 929 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.191

    0.191

    The layout shifts by 0.191 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 125 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 125 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (43), images 1.1 MB (36) and stylesheets 133 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    88 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cisco-logo.png at 3,725 px wide, shown at 117 px. Resized copies would save about 88 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (41 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.84 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 100.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9296
  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 48 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 25 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 25 pages on helient.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Our IT services focus on innovative technology solutions that maximize productivity, improve responsiveness, & deliver …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Digital Transformation with Microsoft Cloud Solutions”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Digital Transformation with Microsoft Cloud Solutions | Helient”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.helient.com/.

  • 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.helient.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 (1,881 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 3 pages with very little text

    /contact, /locations and /legal have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 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 12 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7396
  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (44 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for helient.com and is valid for another 44 days.

  • 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://helient.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 16 links work

    All 16 links checked from your homepage (13 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 0 days

    helient.com is registered until Oct 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 13 years old

    13 years

    helient.com was registered in Oct 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and digicert.com to issue certificates for helient.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • DNSSEC is on

    helient.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 customer or partner logos. 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 1,688 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,688 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “CONTACT US”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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.protection.outlook.com include:autotask.net include:39820056.spf06.hubspotemail.net include:spf-us.e…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), 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 Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
