Speed

7 to fix55
  • Improve image delivery

    3.4 s · 2.1 MB

    70 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.7 s · 331 KiB

    About 331 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.0 s · 706 KiB

    108 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (706 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google CDN adds 378 ms

    378 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    310 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 879 KiB and 428 ms of main-thread time.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.7 s

    23.7 s

    Your largest element takes 23.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “MANUFACTURING”.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.9 s

    24.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 140 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 213 ms

    213 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 213 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 7.2 MB in 125 requests

    7.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.2 MB in 125 requests on a phone: images 5.7 MB (87), scripts 821 KiB (17) and other files 356 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images over 500 KB

    6 images weigh 3.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 images (4.3 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    364 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example banner-ENGLISH-9.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 364 KiB.

  • 17 images below the first screen load straight away

    17 images further down the page (543 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.05 g of CO₂e: 245.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8292
  • 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 (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 6 links without text

    6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h1 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8268
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “AFI Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at afi.com.sa/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 77 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 77 pages on afi.com.sa and 6 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Who We Are”.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (317 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 pages share a title

    /Services-267.html and /Services-288.html all use the title “Services”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 13 pages without a meta description

    /ABOUT_US-222.html, /BUSINESS_UNITS-208.html, /AFI_Industrial_Solutions-260.html, /Hydraulics-268.html, /Fluid_Conveyance-269.html and /Lubrication_Systems-319.html and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /Fluid_Conveyance-269.html took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    13 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8877
  • Scrolls sideways on phones

    On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.

  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot set properties of null (setting 'value')”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks 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

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (afi.com.sa).

  • Valid certificate (71 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for afi.com.sa and is valid for another 71 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://afi.com.sa 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 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (37 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 30 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    afi.com.sa 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.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 62 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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.

  • Only about 197 words

    The homepage has only about 197 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US”, “Get Quote” and “Contact : +966 9200 13194”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 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).

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
