meldsystems.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
209 KiB2 images could be 209 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 84 KiB and 12 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Mobile performance score: 98
98/100Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 22 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 3.9 s
3.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.
5 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sYour largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Custom software for businesses whose systems need to work t…”.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.
Images and page weight
2 images far larger than shown
165 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example meld-lockup-plate.jpg at 1,800 px wide, shown at 388 px. Resized copies would save about 165 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (216 KiB) are 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 0.09 g of CO₂ per visit
0.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.09 g of CO₂e: 10.7 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: 321 KiB in 13 requests
321 KiBYour homepage downloads 321 KiB in 13 requests on a phone: images 219 KiB (3), fonts 71 KiB (4) and stylesheets 14 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 3 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 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
26 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 26 pages on meldsystems.com and 2 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 108 characters
Your meta description is 108 characters: “MELD Systems Inc. builds integrations, custom applications, and applied AI pipelines for growing businesses.”.

The canonical URL is https://meldsystems.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://meldsystems.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 /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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (402 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page with very little text
/contact 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.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (meldsystems.com).
Valid certificate (33 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for meldsystems.com and is valid for another 33 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://meldsystems.com 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.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 10 days
meldsystems.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.
No CAA record
meldsystems.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
meldsystems.com'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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 11 months old
11 monthsmeldsystems.com was registered in Nov 2025 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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 393 words of copy
The homepage carries about 393 words of visible text.

Email authentication score: 85/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
Upkeep, stack and company
No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
