salesfire.co.uk does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
23.3 s · 5.5 MB59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.5 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 487 KiB3 images could be 487 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 46). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 479 KiBAbout 479 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 596 ms
596 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 596 ms of main-thread work and 629 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 460 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hotjar adds 420 ms
420 msHotjar costs a phone 420 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.
Facebook adds 298 ms
298 msFacebook costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 223 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.
2,687 HTML elements
The page has 2,687 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.5 MB in 137 requests
8.5 MBYour homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 137 requests on a phone: images 6.7 MB (52), scripts 1.4 MB (33) and other files 252 KiB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 4.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images in older formats
4 images (3.8 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
award-white-mobile.svg 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).
About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.41 g of CO₂e: 289.5 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
14 tap targets too small
14 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 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 (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 62 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,004 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description

Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.salesfire.co.uk/book-a-demo/ (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.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.salesfire.co.uk/summit-2026/.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (salesfire.co.uk).
Valid certificate (86 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for salesfire.co.uk and is valid for another 86 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://salesfire.co.uk 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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
salesfire.co.uk 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
salesfire.co.uk'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 10 years old
10 yearssalesfire.co.uk was registered in Jan 2016 through Fasthosts Internet Ltd. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jan 2030
salesfire.co.uk is registered until Jan 2030.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

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.

Risk reducer mentioned

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be salesfire.co.uk 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 a mx include:mail.zendesk.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
