Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.3 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 606 KiBAbout 606 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.6 s · 347 KiBAbout 347 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.4 s
1.4 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 691 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.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 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, Marketo and 6sc.co and others), adding 1.7 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 180 KiB4 images could be 180 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 266 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 726 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 77 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 77 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Marketo adds 328 ms
328 msMarketo costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 218 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.
6sc.co adds 253 ms
253 ms6sc.co costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 36 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.
FontAwesome CDN adds 173 ms
173 msFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.
1,598 HTML elements
The page has 1,598 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
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.

1.7 sReal visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 103 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.057
0.057The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.057, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 140 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 140 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (35), images 502 KiB (52) and fonts 408 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (236 KiB) 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (134 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes

ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Every image has alt text
All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 10 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (102 characters)
Your title is 102 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Strata Decision Technology | Financial Software, Data, and Insights to Drive Decisions an…”.
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 short (69 characters)
Your meta description is only 69 characters: “The “Gold Standard” for Financial Planning, Analytics and Performance”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
184 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 184 pages on stratadecision.com and 2 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We're here to help.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.stratadecision.com/.
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://www.stratadecision.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 (883 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /market-opportunity-visualization-retheme, whose canonical is /solutions/data/market-opportunity-visualization. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 81 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=134605915&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=f6c0f36f-253f-477a-bec6-692f418528ce&bo=1&sid=04eabff0d3bb11f1aea1db45499ff64a&vid=04eae180d3bb11f19c26cb9374ed5251&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the image 'about:blank' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src 'self' *.6sc.co data…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
18 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://syntellis.my.site.com/SyntellisClients/s/ (502).
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.syntellis.com/healthcare-market-solutions-login.
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (stratadecision.com).
Valid certificate (78 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for stratadecision.com and is valid for another 78 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.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://stratadecision.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
stratadecision.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
stratadecision.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 26 years old
26 yearsstratadecision.com was registered in Dec 1999 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Dec 2027
stratadecision.com is registered until Dec 2027.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
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 593 words of copy
The homepage carries about 593 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more” and “REQUEST A DEMO”.
18 calls to action
The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Learn more”, “Strategic Pricing” and “Funds Transfer Pricing”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:192.65.156.118 ip4:38.104.102.238 ip4:205.233.126.7 ip4:65.52.232.173 ip4:157.55.209.64 ip4:62.13.150.47 ip4…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before 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). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
