securitymetrics.com website review

anura.io costs a phone 2.1 s of main-thread work and 78 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,507 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (anura.io, Wistia and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 11.4 MB and 4.1 s of main-thread time.

Wistia costs a phone 866 ms of main-thread work and 9.8 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.

18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 844 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 519 ms of main-thread work and 487 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.

5 images could be 462 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

website-files.com costs a phone 324 ms of main-thread work and 830 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.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (59 KiB).

About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 865 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Cybersecurity and compliance without the guesswork”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.4 s).

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 157 ms to 159 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 19.6 MB in 99 requests on a phone: media 16.4 MB (3), scripts 1.4 MB (33) and other files 1,013 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6795501bf45812ba0d4a82b3_051b262ebae794c2c77a17732190ffda_Se 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.55 g of CO₂e: 665.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h6 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SecurityMetrics | PCI QSA, Penetration Testing, HIPAA, HITRUST & CMMC”.

Your meta description is 189 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

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

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

The homepage links to 206 pages on securitymetrics.com and 16 external pages.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /gdpr-defense, whose canonical is /product/gdpr-defense. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 67 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=137011297&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=72185579-bf43-454c-aedb-3cfcbb49f4ab&bo=1&sid=0ff32690d75e11f1ad66ebc52e875ea2&vid=0ff35080d75e11f198ca2336bbe19011&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“`StorageType.persistent` is deprecated. Please use standardized `navigator.storage` instead.”).

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

2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

http://securitymetrics.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 1 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

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

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

securitymetrics.com 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.

securitymetrics.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.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 602 words of visible text.

Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 redirect=securitymetrics.com.hosted.spf-report.com”.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
