Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
8.8 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, YouTube and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 3.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 519 ms
519 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 519 ms of main-thread work and 962 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 229 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (229 KiB).
YouTube adds 377 ms
377 msYouTube costs a phone 377 ms of main-thread work and 992 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.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
rebuyengine.com adds 173 ms
173 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 688 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.
Klaviyo adds 117 ms
117 msKlaviyo costs a phone 117 ms of main-thread work and 338 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.
Shopify adds 60 ms
60 msShopify costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 480 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.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
161 KiB4 images could be 161 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Total Blocking Time: 700 ms
700 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 700 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 277 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 277 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (98), other files 810 KiB (119) and images 656 KiB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
221 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example MicrosoftTeams-image_1.jpg at 2,000 px wide, shown at 137 px. Resized copies would save about 221 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (336 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “Softech Softboards”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (276 characters)
Your meta description is 276 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
140 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 140 pages on softechsoftboards.com and 12 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.softechsoftboards.com/.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.softechsoftboards.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/pages/fin-systems has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

Valid certificate (47 days left)

Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
softechsoftboards.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 18 years old
18 yearssoftechsoftboards.com was registered in Aug 2008 through Netregistry Wholesale Pty Ltd. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for softechsoftboards.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Aug 2027
softechsoftboards.com is registered until Aug 2027.
Content and conversion
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 120 words
The homepage has only about 120 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact us”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place

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.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
