One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix73
  • 3,248 HTML elements

    The page has 3,248 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 73

    73/100

    Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 226 KiB

    About 226 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 997 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and qualified.com and others), adding 326 KiB and 248 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    36 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    16 KiB

    1 image could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “AI-Native Trust Infrastructure for Identity, Risk, Complian…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

  • Time to Interactive: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 62% slower for real visitors

    +62%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 233 ms

    233 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 233 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed

  • Real-user INP: 181 ms

    181 ms

    Real visitors wait 181 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.09

    0.09

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.028

    0.028

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.028, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 13.3 MB in 79 requests

    13.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 79 requests on a phone: media 12.3 MB (1), scripts 736 KiB (38) and images 79 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.76 g of CO₂e: 451.7 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

3 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 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

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 149 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 149 pages on socure.com and 18 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Socure is the leading AI-powered identity verification platform trusted by 3,000+ customers to verify consumers, busine…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AI-Native Trust Infrastructure for Identity, Risk, Compliance, Age, and Workforce”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Identity Verification Platform for AI Risk Decisioning | Socure”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • robots.txt in place

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (1,158 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (25 KiB, 137 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 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”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://developer.socure.com/.

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • security.txt has expired

    Your security.txt expired on 2026-07-15, so researchers may not trust its contact details.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (51 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for socure.com and is valid for another 51 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 51 links work

    All 51 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 11 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    socure.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 23 years old

    23 years

    socure.com was registered in Jun 2003 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    socure.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 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.

  • About 483 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 483 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Talk to an expert” and “Talk to our team”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Learn more about RiskOS”, “Start Building” and “Contact center”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 35 customer or partner logos and “3,000+ Customers”.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject 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:_spf.socure_com._d.easydmarc.pro ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
