Speed

7 to fix56
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 375 KiB

    About 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 2.0 MB and 425 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 743 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

    300 ms · 99 KiB

    About 99 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.

  • Amazon Web Services adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Amazon Web Services costs a phone 0 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 73 KiB

    2 images could be 73 KiB 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 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 135 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 688 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix66
  • 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 element shown below.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.5 s

    15.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 114 ms

    114 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 114 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 38 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 38 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (8), scripts 830 KiB (16) and fonts 476 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 99.0 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 9293
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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

3 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Meta description is long (187 characters)

    Your meta description is 187 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 22 internal links, 34 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on proactive.inc and 34 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Proactive Group Holdings Inc”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Issuer Solutions for Public Companies | Proactive Inc.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://proactive.inc/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://proactive.inc/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://proactive.inc/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
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://proactive.inc/proactive-group-holdings-joins-forces-with-sevva-ai-in-uk-government-backed-ai-sustainability-initiative, https://proactive.inc/proactive-group-holdings-launches-newsifai-to-revolutionize-digital-news-production, https://proactive.inc/proactive-plans-reverse-takeover-with-evergreen-for-enhanced-capital-access-to-accelerate-ai-products, https://proactive.inc/proactive-group-holdings-acquires-online-investor-communications-expert-irm, https://proactive.inc/proactive-group-holdings-acquires-corporate-website-developer-and-designer-adnet-communications-inc and https://proactive.inc/cookie-policy and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://proactive.inc/about-us/history took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage 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 9693
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: “over 1800 companies”. 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.

  • Only about 137 words

    The homepage has only about 137 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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).

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 proactive.inc, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
