Speed

8 to fix47
  • Improve image delivery

    3.5 s · 9.6 MB

    24 images could be 9.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 411 KiB

    About 411 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 130 KiB

    About 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Google Fonts and others), adding 786 KiB and 601 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 524 ms

    524 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 524 ms of main-thread work and 522 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.

  • 2,156 HTML elements

    The page has 2,156 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 201 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 746 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix100
  • 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: 50.6 s

    50.6 s

    Your largest element takes 50.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FINDING TRUTH IN THE DIGITAL WORLD Leading AI-powered solut…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 53.7 s

    53.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 53.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 61% slower for real visitors

    +61%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 990 ms

    990 ms

    Real visitors wait 990 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 474 ms

    474 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 474 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 29 images without width and height

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

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user INP: 110 ms

    110 ms

    Real visitors wait 110 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: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 15.7 MB in 80 requests

    15.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.7 MB in 80 requests on a phone: images 13.7 MB (61), scripts 894 KiB (7) and other files 520 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    5.3 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Doc Portal Web Image 1800x700 1 (2).jpg at 5,400 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 5.3 MB.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Doc Portal Web Image 1800x700 1 (2).jpg weighs 4.3 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 13 images in older formats

    13 images (6.0 MB) 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.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (4.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.45 g of CO₂e: 534.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7587
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 7 images without alt text

    7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 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.

  • 5 links without text

    5 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 (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 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: 45 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8570
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Nuix: Leading Global Provider of Investigative & Analytics Software”.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (227 characters)

    Your meta description is 227 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 14 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 143 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 143 pages on nuix.com and 12 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.nuix.com/.

  • 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.nuix.com/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.

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 (2,009 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (8 KiB, 58 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /our-industries, /about-us and /solutions/neo-foundation 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 /solutions/neo-discover, whose canonical is /solutions/nuix-discover. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /request-a-demo and /solutions/neo-discover have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 84 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 32 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

9 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (52 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for nuix.com and is valid for another 52 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://nuix.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 50 links work

    All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

4 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    nuix.com was registered in Sep 1999 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only godaddy.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and rapidssl.com to issue certificates for nuix.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • DNSSEC is on

    nuix.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    nuix.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 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 2,065 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,065 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE” and “SCHEDULE A DEMO”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Request a demo”, “Pricing” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

85
  • 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:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email include:stspg-customer.com include:spf.mindmatrix.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
