Images2.0
2% of images have a clearly defined size
No images are being resized by the browser
- Most images (98.0%) don't have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. These attributes are optional, but strongly recommended as they help the browser arrange the page more quickly.
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
Non Explicitly Sized Images
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.

Media specific CSS detected
URL format8.8
1 URLs are less than ideal
- 1 URLs are 'dirty'. 'Dirty' URLs include one or more parameters after a question mark (e.g. www.example.com/?pagename=news), instead of a clean URL (e.g. www.example.com/news). Dirty URLs should generally be avoided wherever possible - they are almost impossible for human beings to remember, may expose the technology of the website to hackers and can confuse search engines among other problems. Their use is sometimes necessary for specific applications, and acceptable in small amounts.
- Remove or reduce the number of query parameters in URLs. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.
Internal links9.6
- One link is weakly described. Common weak links include 'click here' and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link points to.
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
Weak link text
Link URL Link text Page URL corporatefinanceinstitute.com/member-community Read More corporatefinanceinstitute.com/
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
- 20 links have no text describing their destination. Links on a page should describe their destination for the benefit of both screen readers and search engine spiders.
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Mobile9.7
- All of this website appears to be optimised for viewing on a mobile phone (using CSS media queries) but only 80.0% of pages are optimised for tablet viewing. It is important to make sure your content is optimised for a wide range of devices as a growing percentage of web browsing is done on phones and tablets.
- Check how the website looks using a tablet and consider adding tablet-only styling using media queries. Some websites employ other techniques for mobile and tablet visitors which we cannot currently detect.
