Speed

10 to fix45
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10.4 s · 19.9 MB

    102 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19.9 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    12.8 s

    50 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 12.8 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    8.8 s · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 1.0 MB

    5 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and wpenginepowered.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 748 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 678 ms

    678 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 678 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • Minify CSS

    440 ms · 49 KiB

    49 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • Document request latency

    189 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 17 KiB

    17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 226 ms

    226 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 226 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix56
  • First Contentful Paint: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 14.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.0 s

    15.0 s

    Your largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Optimal Solutions and Technologies”.

  • Time to Interactive: 36.8 s

    36.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 36.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 403 ms

    403 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 403 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 21.8 MB in 117 requests

    21.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 21.8 MB in 117 requests on a phone: media 14.2 MB (2), images 2.4 MB (9) and scripts 1.9 MB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 6.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.17 g of CO₂e: 740.4 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

1 to fix99
  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • 10 H1 headlines

    There are 10 <h1> headlines (“Innovative Solutions.”, “Unmatched Capabilities.” and “Innovation in Motion”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 98 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 98 pages on ostglobal.com and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 74 characters

    Your meta description is 74 characters: “OST delivers unwavering support – whenever and wherever the mission calls.”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “OST - Always On. Always There.”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /who-we-are/in-the-news and /our-capabilities have 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 34 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

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 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”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix67
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://ostglobal.com/case-studies-white-papers/ (404).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Network Solutions, LLC · Network Solutions RSA OV SSL CA 4 verifies for ostglobal.com and is valid for another 48 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    ostglobal.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    ostglobal.com was registered in Aug 1999 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only trust-provider.com to issue certificates for ostglobal.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Aug 2029

    ostglobal.com is registered until Aug 2029.

Content and conversion

5 to fix67
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 34 words

    The homepage has only about 34 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ostglobal.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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-b.ostglobal.com include:spf.emailsignatures365.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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).
