Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 331 KiBAbout 331 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.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Improve image delivery
370 KiB2 images could be 370 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google CDN adds 236 ms
236 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 236 ms of main-thread work and 591 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.
1,665 HTML elements
The page has 1,665 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and guarantee-cdn.com and others), adding 900 KiB and 377 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
100 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
73 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (73 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 847 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 16 ms
16 msYour server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
First Contentful Paint: 5.6 s
5.6 sThe first text or image appears after 5.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 15.7 s
15.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s
5.6 sYour largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Up to 50% OFF Sitewide Plus a Free VPN with Orders Over $15…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.20
0.20For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.104
0.104The layout shifts by 0.104 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Truly_Office_PDF_reader_pro_425x309.gif weighs 1.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 213 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 213 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (58), fonts 842 KiB (25) and images 800 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1.7 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.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
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.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
20 form fields without a label
20 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
92 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 92 pages on softwarekeep.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 122 characters
Your meta description is 122 characters: “Get genuine software at unbeatable prices. Enjoy fast digital delivery, lifetime support & 24/7 service from SoftwareKe…”.
Title: 50 characters

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://softwarekeep.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.
No llms.txt
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (4,840 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187123408&Ver=2&mid=9cdebe26-a108-481d-82e9-8b6dc4b9735b&bo=1&sid=0897f090d89911f1859eeda72ddfce65&vid=0897d9e0d89911f1a864a15ded83c61d&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.
12 small tap targets
12 of 44 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected string”.
8 distorted images
8 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://softwarekeep.com/checkout.
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
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (softwarekeep.com).
Valid certificate (67 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for softwarekeep.com and is valid for another 67 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://softwarekeep.com 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.
All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
softwarekeep.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.
DNSSEC is off
softwarekeep.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 11 years old
11 yearssoftwarekeep.com was registered in Apr 2015 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2030
softwarekeep.com is registered until Apr 2030.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,057 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,057 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
6 checks passed

12 short forms
12 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be softwarekeep.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
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 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (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.
18 cookies set on arrival
18Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
