Speed

9 to fix57
  • Render-blocking requests

    6.3 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.3 s · 269 KiB

    About 269 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 43.9 MB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43.9 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Clarity and others), adding 46.4 MB and 616 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 114 ms

    114 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 45.8 MB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    533 KiB

    4 images could be 533 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 238 ms

    238 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 238 ms of main-thread work and 427 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.

  • 1,730 HTML elements

    The page has 1,730 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    80 ms · 40 KiB

    About 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 80 ms faster on a phone.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 87 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    5 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 740 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s

    16.4 s

    Your largest element takes 16.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “CadMakers uses cookies to offer you a better experience. By…”.

  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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
  • Total Blocking Time: 168 ms

    168 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 46.6 MB in 60 requests

    46.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 46.6 MB in 60 requests on a phone: media 43.8 MB (8), fonts 1.1 MB (14) and images 1.0 MB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 13.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    13.22 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 13.22 g of CO₂e: 1585.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

7 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (46 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 46 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 (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 145 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 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

4 to fixGoogle 9285
  • No structured data

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

  • 7 H1 headlines

    There are 7 <h1> headlines (“Digital ConstructorsDigital FabricatorsDigital Pr…”, “Our Services” and “Build your project. Before you build your project.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

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

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 53 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 53 pages on cadmakers.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 101 characters

    Your meta description is 101 characters: “CadMakers helps builders plan, collaborate, and ship better and faster projects from start to finish.”.

  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “CadMakers | Construction Technology Solutions”.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://cadmakers.com/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

    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 (1,054 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix69
  • 2 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /archive/cmcore and /archive/for-robotics-engineering, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /fabricator, /for-manufacturing, /for-mechanical-designers and /about use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 20 small tap targets

    20 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • 2 broken links to your own pages

    2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://cadmakers.com/archive/cmcore (404).

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.cmbuilder.io/cmbuilder-open-demo-december-2025 (404).

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (cadmakers.com).

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for cadmakers.com and is valid for another 80 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://cadmakers.com 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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cadmakers.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

    cadmakers.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 13 years old

    13 years

    cadmakers.com was registered in Oct 2013 through IONOS SE. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2031

    cadmakers.com is registered until Oct 2031.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • About 1,460 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,460 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Join Our Team” and “talk to us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 59 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:sendgrid.net include:em6326.cadmakers.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.emailsignatu…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

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