Speed

12 to fix34
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.8 s · 5.9 MB

    58 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.9 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.3 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 34

    34/100

    Your mobile performance score is 34. 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, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 954 ms

    954 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 954 ms of main-thread work and 971 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

    600 ms · 287 KiB

    9 images could be 287 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    730 ms · 106 KiB

    About 106 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 730 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 342 ms

    342 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 342 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 363 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 41 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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

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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    Your largest element takes 15.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “man and woman in conversation looking at laptop”.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.2 s

    27.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 137 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 112 ms

    112 ms

    Real visitors wait 112 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    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: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 11.5 MB in 192 requests

    11.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.5 MB in 192 requests on a phone: media 7.4 MB (2), scripts 2.6 MB (55) and images 885 KiB (54). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Party City 1920:Hero-Image-Mobile 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).

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (260 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.27 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.27 g of CO₂e: 392.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 9596
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), 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. (6 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 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

2 to fixGoogle 10095
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 85 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 85 pages on namics.com and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “The next decade belongs to brands that are positioned to win on customer experience. And the competition gets more fier…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Merkle - We Power the Experience Economy”.

  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Merkle - We Power the Experience Economy”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.merkle.com/en/home.html.

  • 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.merkle.com/en/sitemap.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.merkle.com/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 (534 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://www.merkle.com/en/home.html all use the title “Merkle - We Power the Experience Economy”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 72 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 6976
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5039927&Ver=2&mid=6be1772a-7e6b-40ef-b33e-0ad9833b9f1f&bo=1&sid=53ad2aa0d35011f1bee63938fd372524&vid=53ad3630d35011f1b8707720d7583787&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg=.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    15 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 482 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 482 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US” and “DOWNLOAD PLAYBOOK”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Download Playbook”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 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 namics.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
