Speed

8 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 542 KiB

    About 542 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • 3,849 HTML elements

    The page has 3,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 196 KiB

    About 196 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    650 ms · 137 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (137 KiB).

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, webless.ai and Optanon and others), adding 776 KiB and 566 ms of main-thread time.

  • webless.ai adds 196 ms

    196 ms

    webless.ai costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 629 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 57 ms

    57 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 57 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Your largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This site uses cookies and similar tools, some of which are…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 352 ms

    352 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 352 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 4.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 119 ms

    119 ms

    Real visitors wait 119 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.03

    0.03

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.03, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 48.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.4 MB in 63 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 63 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (7), stylesheets 161 KiB (1) and fonts 79 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9597
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 153 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 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
  • Meta description is long (171 characters)

    Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 386 internal links, 42 external

    The homepage links to 386 pages on intersystems.com and 42 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Make your data AI-ready faster”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Data Management & Healthcare Information Systems| InterSystems”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation, 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.intersystems.com/sitemap.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 (3,159 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.intersystems.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 33 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/partners and https://www.intersystems.com/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.intersystems.com/products, https://www.intersystems.com/industries, https://www.intersystems.com/solutions/use-cases, https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/solutions and https://www.intersystems.com/resources and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 pages slow to respond

    https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/knowledge-hub/certification-program, https://www.intersystems.com/knowledge-hub, https://www.intersystems.com/partners/partner-programs, https://www.intersystems.com/healthcare-startups and https://www.intersystems.com/partners and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 136 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8191
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

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.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 885 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 885 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Try InterSystems IRIS” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 3 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at intersystems.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
