Speed

10 to fix66
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 7.4 MB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (quadia.net, Google Tag Manager and Optanon and others), adding 8.9 MB and 735 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • cloudfront.net adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 7.0 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • quadia.net adds 431 ms

    431 ms

    quadia.net costs a phone 431 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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

    396 KiB

    6 images could be 396 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 89 KiB

    About 89 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 78 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 78 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 39 ms

    39 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 39 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix71
  • Time to Interactive: 20.5 s

    20.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “DataLabs Healthier animals”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 315 ms

    315 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 315 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 10.6 MB in 83 requests

    10.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.6 MB in 83 requests on a phone: images 8.2 MB (20), scripts 2.2 MB (26) and stylesheets 95 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (490 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.00 g of CO₂e: 360.0 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

3 to fixGoogle 9595
  • Frames without titles

    3 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 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

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 21 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 21 pages on identigen.com and 9 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “We connect DNA and DATA Intelligence with expert insight to deliver true actionable knowledge which empowers you and yo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “True Knowledge Empowering Better Choices.”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “IdentiGEN - Centre of excellence for data-driven solutions”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.identigen.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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 (324 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 7 pages share a title

    /, /es, /fr, /de, /nl and /pt and 1 other all use the title “IdentiGEN - Centre of excellence for data-driven solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages share a meta description

    /es, /fr, /de, /nl, /pt and /it use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /smart-data-philosophy has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 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 10 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9271
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://pixel.wp.com/g.gif?v=ext&blog=207256366&post=2&tz=0&srv=www.identigen.com&hp=vip&j=1%3A16.1.3&host=www.identigen.com&ref=&fcp=836&rand=0.2601754299068906.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Creating a TrustedTypePolicy named 'goog#html' violates the following Content Security policy directive: "trusted-types…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (identigen.com).

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for identigen.com and is valid for another 80 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://identigen.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 19 links work

    All 19 links checked from your homepage (11 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    identigen.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

    identigen.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 28 years old

    28 years

    identigen.com was registered in Jun 1998 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2028

    identigen.com is registered until Jun 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 361 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 361 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    identigen.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 40/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.ess.de.barracudanetworks.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) 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).

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

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