Speed

11 to fix22
  • YouTube adds 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    YouTube costs a phone 2.8 s of main-thread work and 4.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 1.4 MB

    120 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

  • Calendly adds 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Calendly costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 2.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Main-thread work: 12.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 22

    22/100

    Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 38). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Calendly and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 9.2 MB and 5.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    920 ms · 4.4 MB

    About 4.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 920 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.6 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 975 ms

    975 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 975 ms of main-thread work and 811 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.

  • Facebook adds 269 ms

    269 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 269 ms of main-thread work and 210 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.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 96 KiB

    About 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix21
  • Speed Index: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 19.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 5.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 63.2 s

    63.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 63.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Introducing Kando’s Solution: A comprehensive wastewater in…”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.1 s).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.327

    0.327

    The layout shifts by 0.327 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 10.4 MB in 245 requests

    10.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.4 MB in 245 requests on a phone: scripts 7.8 MB (116), stylesheets 1.6 MB (31) and fonts 468 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.95 g of CO₂e: 353.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8791
  • 12 tap targets too small

    12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 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.

  • 43 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 43 pages on kando.eco and 12 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 117 characters

    Your meta description is 117 characters: “Kando helps wastewater utilities turn wastewater data into insight with AI, IoT to improve overall wastewater quality”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Inspiring people. Impacting lives.”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Kando | Wastewater Intelligence Platform for Utilities”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kando.eco/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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.kando.eco/sitemap_index.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 https://www.kando.eco/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 (794 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

6 to fix52
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.kando.eco/www.kando.eco/solution, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us all use the title “Contact Us Kando”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://www.kando.eco/people, https://www.kando.eco/clients, https://www.kando.eco/partners, https://www.kando.eco/blog, https://www.kando.eco/media and https://www.kando.eco/events and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.kando.eco/contact-us, whose canonical is https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.kando.eco/about-kando-wastewater-intelligence-company and https://www.kando.eco/people have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 9 small tap targets

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

  • 7 third-party cookies

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

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught Error: Invalid form id provided: ”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 15 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 837 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 837 words of visible text.

4 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”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Request a Demo” and “Contact us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 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.

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 kando.eco, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
