acist.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.5 s · 4.5 MB102 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.4 s · 556 KiBAbout 556 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.3 s50 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 201 KiB4 images could be 201 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 118 KiBAbout 118 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 748 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 562 ms
562 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 562 ms of main-thread work and 997 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.
Minify CSS
300 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Largest Contentful Paint: 18.7 s
18.7 sYour largest element takes 18.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Bracco and ACIST Medical Systems Announce U.S. FDA Clearanc…”.
Time to Interactive: 18.7 s

Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors
+24%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 214 ms
214 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 214 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.4 MB in 167 requests
20.4 MBYour homepage downloads 20.4 MB in 167 requests on a phone: media 18.1 MB (3), scripts 1.4 MB (54) and images 311 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (126 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (126 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit
5.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.78 g of CO₂e: 693.2 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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Positive tabindex
1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 11 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 long (75 characters)
Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Diagnostic & Interventional Cardiology Technologies - ACIST Medical Systems”.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
83 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 83 pages on acist.com and 27 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 149 characters
Your meta description is 149 characters: “ACIST Medical Systems provides innovative contrast injector & IVUS catheter diagnostic technologies to visualize, asses…”.

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (125 KiB, 517 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /about, whose canonical is /int/about-2. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages without an H1
/int, /acist-pro, /cvi-calculator and /cvi-interactive-tool have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
