Speed
Render-blocking requests
6.3 s2 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 KiBAbout 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 MB11 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 mswebsite-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
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
533 KiB4 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 msGoogle 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s
16.4 sYour 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 sThe 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.5 s
6.5 sVisually, 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 msScripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 46.6 MB in 60 requests
46.6 MBYour 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 gBy 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.

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
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
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
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
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

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 security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

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.

Content and conversion
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

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
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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
