Speed

7 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 294 KiB

    About 294 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 1.6 MB

    4 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 131 KiB

    About 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    600 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 600 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (elementor.com, cloudflare.com and trustedsite.com and others), adding 129 KiB and 52 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    27 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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 JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    Your largest element takes 10.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “vadum defense protect what matters”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 51 ms

    51 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 51 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 101 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 101 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (13), scripts 691 KiB (47) and fonts 431 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 4.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (4.6 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.0 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

1 to fixGoogle 9599
  • Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)

    Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 92100
  • 45 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 45 pages on vaduminc.com and 1 external page.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

    Your meta description is 137 characters: “The Vadum team applies ground-breaking research and development expertise to solve critical defense, security, and comm…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Protecting What Matters”.

  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Vadum - Protecting What Matters”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vaduminc.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, Corporation, ImageObject, Organization and Person.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://vaduminc.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://vaduminc.com/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 (298 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://vaduminc.com/contact-us and https://vaduminc.com/contact all use the title “Contact Us - Vadum”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://vaduminc.com/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    https://vaduminc.com/predictive-targeting-solutions and https://vaduminc.com/rf-microwave-systems-sensors use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

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

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://vaduminc.com/who-we-are, https://vaduminc.com/what-we-do, https://vaduminc.com/skypro-atr, https://vaduminc.com/cognitive-ew, https://vaduminc.com/spectral-situational-awareness and https://vaduminc.com/predictive-targeting-solutions and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://vaduminc.com/contact-us and https://vaduminc.com/contact have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 13 internal pages checked

    We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 13 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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.

  • 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 analytics detected

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

  • Only about 165 words

    The homepage has only about 165 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at vaduminc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
