Speed

10 to fix49
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 772 KiB

    About 772 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. 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 Adroll and others), adding 858 KiB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 742 ms

    742 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 742 ms of main-thread work and 549 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 71 KiB

    1 image could be 71 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 62 KiB

    About 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 274 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,254 HTML elements

    The page has 2,254 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    158 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (158 KiB).

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix49
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Your largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 680 ms

    680 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 680 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 34 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011

    0.011

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 127 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 127 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (21), images 724 KiB (48) and fonts 374 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    WatchNow-Evyve-webinar.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (510 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9594
  • Interactive controls must not be nested (15 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (10 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 5863
  • Page is set to noindex

    The robots meta tag says “follow, noindex”: Google is told not to list this page at all.

  • Blocked from indexing

    Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

  • No canonical URL

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

  • 19 links with vague text

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

  • 179 internal links, 31 external

    The homepage links to 179 pages on monta.com and 31 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Monta's EV charging management software helps industry pioneers to streamline their operations and deliver stellar EV c…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The EV charging platform built on future-ready infrastructure”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “The software foundation powering your EV business - Monta”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and WebPage.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://monta.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. 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 (1,560 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 24 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    /en/enterprise, /en/pricing, /en/cpms, /en/cpms/hardware-compatibility, /en/cpms/firmware-management and /en/cpms/alerting and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /en/products/hub-charge-point-management-system/ev-roaming/emsp, whose canonical is /en/emsp/emsp-roaming. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /en/financial-operations has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    /en/cpms/hardware-compatibility, /en/financial-operations/billing-invoicing and /en/financial-operations/revenue-sharing took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 78 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Load failed, error in settings”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    106 of 118 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://app.monta.com/.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (38 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for monta.com and is valid for another 38 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://monta.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

  • No CAA record

    monta.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

    monta.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    monta.com was registered in Feb 1998 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    monta.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • 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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 1,294 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,294 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: “Pricing” and “Book a demo”.

  • 32 calls to action

    The homepage has 32 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Book a demo” and “Contact”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges and “250+ brands”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be monta.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.google.com include:trustpilotservice.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:20114015.spf04.hubspotema…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and The Trade Desk (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
