Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix57
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.1 s

    30 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 121 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (121 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    858 KiB

    3 images could be 858 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 140 KiB

    About 140 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 48 KiB

    About 48 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 271 ms

    271 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 200 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 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 (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and jQuery CDN and others), adding 437 KiB and 454 ms of main-thread time.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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 92 but mobile only 57. 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    Your largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ID fraud prevention at scale”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 97 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 81 ms

    81 ms

    Real visitors wait 81 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 440 ms

    440 ms

    Real visitors wait 440 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 60% faster for real visitors

    -60%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 141 ms

    141 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 141 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 111 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 111 requests on a phone: images 910 KiB (12), scripts 597 KiB (37) and fonts 422 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (140 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.63 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (14 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h3 → h6 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. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 62 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“ID fraud prevention at scale” and “Scanning IDs, authenticating documents, and verif…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 190 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 190 pages on idscan.net and 15 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 114 characters

    Your meta description is 114 characters: “Best-in-Class ID Fraud Platform Provider & ID Scanning Software Solutions For Compliance and Security - IDScan.net”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “ID Fraud Prevention & ID Verification - IDScan.net”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://idscan.net/.

  • 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://idscan.net/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,597 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (9 KiB, 65 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /notification-data-security-incident is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    /veriscan-age-verification-visitor-management-software, /id-scanning, /remote-id-validation-2, /age-verification-software and /id-fraud-prevention-software have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /veriscan-age-verification-visitor-management-software has 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 88 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 6970
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97186594&Ver=2&mid=b0e3cc52-a4f4-47c8-852b-752ab86c3cd5&bo=1&sid=0f254e10cf0d11f1aba72b07dc72a508&vid=0f254840cf0d11f1b22fb5150f370782&vids=1&msclkid=N&pid=em%3D07d9be.

  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://idscan.net/product/unitech-pa768-id-and-passport-scanner-handheld-visitor-management-bundle/.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (idscan.net).

  • Valid certificate (33 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for idscan.net and is valid for another 33 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://idscan.net 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 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 89 days

    idscan.net is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • DNSSEC is off

    idscan.net'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 21 years old

    21 years

    idscan.net was registered in Jan 2005 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, ssl.com and comodoca.com to issue certificates for idscan.net, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 890 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 890 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us” and “Request a Demo”.

  • 17 calls to action

    The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Pricing” and “Shop ID Scanners”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating and 5 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be idscan.net is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net include:6215676.spf03.hubspotemail.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Ads (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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.
