Speed

8 to fix43
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.4 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.6 s · 437 KiB

    About 437 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 330 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (330 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optanon and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 859 ms

    859 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 859 ms of main-thread work and 570 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 458 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    115 KiB

    1 image could be 115 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    48 KiB

    About 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 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 JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Your largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Marklogic background”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 611 ms

    611 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 611 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 233 ms

    233 ms

    Real visitors wait 233 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 199 ms to 233 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    66 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example resource-featured-image-770x4334084154184274f1595a6bd484e66f at 1,540 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 66 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (123 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 106 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 106 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (43), images 175 KiB (24) and stylesheets 66 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10097
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9283
  • Title is long (85 characters)

    Your title is 85 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Most Flexible, AI-Ready Multi-Model Data Management Platform | Progress Marklogic”.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 8 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 176 internal links, 38 external

    The homepage links to 176 pages on marklogic.com and 38 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 95 characters

    Your meta description is 95 characters: “Solve your most complex data challenges and unlock more value with the MarkLogic data platform.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AI and Agility Without the Data Complexity”.

  • 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.progress.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

3 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 (1,237 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.progress.com/llms.txt (10 KiB, 71 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 104 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getAttribute')”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • 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 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 849 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 849 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: “REQUEST DEMO”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 marklogic.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
