Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 7.4 MB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.4 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 1.3 MBAbout 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
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
cloudfront.net adds 0 ms
0 mscloudfront.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 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
quadia.net adds 431 ms
431 msquadia.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 KiB6 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.6 MB in 83 requests
10.6 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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.

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 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

AI search readiness
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.

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
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.

X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

Content and conversion
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

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.

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
2Before 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.
