Live view · interaction off

Speed

13 to fix39
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 862 KiB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (862 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 626 KiB

    About 626 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 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 Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 875 ms

    875 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 875 ms of main-thread work and 697 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    780 ms · 104 KiB

    About 104 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 780 ms faster on a phone.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 413 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Hubspot adds 333 ms

    333 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.

  • website-files.com adds 233 ms

    233 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 932 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 272 ms

    272 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 223 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.

  • 1,606 HTML elements

    The page has 1,606 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    54 KiB

    4 images could be 54 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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.

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

7 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: 15.4 s

    15.4 s

    Your largest element takes 15.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The easier way to run a strong A&E firm”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.4 s

    20.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors

    +17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 131 ms

    131 ms

    Real visitors wait 131 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 603 ms

    603 ms

    Real visitors wait 603 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 55% faster for real visitors

    -55%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.2 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 123 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (44), images 587 KiB (39) and fonts 130 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.74 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.1 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

4 to fixGoogle 8995
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 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 (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 227 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

  • 109 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 109 pages on monograph.com and 17 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Win more work, deliver profitable projects, get paid faster, and make better decisions with firm management software bu…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The easier way to run a strong A&E firm”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Firm Management Software for Architects and Engineers | Monograph”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://monograph.com/.

  • 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://monograph.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • 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 (1,904 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /webinars/live-group-demo has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 47 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 14 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: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (monograph.com).

  • Valid certificate (49 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for monograph.com and is valid for another 49 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://monograph.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.

  • All 54 links work

    All 54 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 14 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 26 days

    monograph.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

    monograph.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

    monograph.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 24 years old

    24 years

    monograph.com was registered in Nov 2001 through 1API GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach 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 1,315 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,315 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Get a demo” and “Book a demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 62 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating, 7 trust badges and “250+ reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and HubSpot.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be monograph.com 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.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net include:6601174.spf01.hubspotema…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (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.

  • 50 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 50 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
