Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
4.8 s · 1,006 KiB1 image could be 1,006 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 683 KiBAbout 683 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 244 ms
244 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 244 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Google Analytics and others), adding 423 KiB and 330 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 131 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (131 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 35 KiBAbout 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
69 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 781 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 69 ms
69 msYour server sent the HTML in 69 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user LCP: 4.3 s
4.3 sReal visitors wait 4.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.3 s
3.3 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 7.7 s
7.7 sThe first text or image appears after 7.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 18.4 s
18.4 sYour largest element takes 18.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “When Measurements Matter We are committed to satisfying the…”.
Time to Interactive: 21.8 s
21.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 204 ms
204 msReal visitors wait 204 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 40% slower for real visitors
+40%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 142 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 47% slower for real visitors
+47%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
3 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.03
0.03For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 162 ms
162 msScripts block the page for only 162 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: 4.2 MB in 143 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 143 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (95), images 1.7 MB (6) and stylesheets 367 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (71 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.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.19 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 checks passed
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (24 characters)
Your title is only 24 characters: “When Measurements Matter”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (183 characters)
Your meta description is 183 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
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 favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
41 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 41 pages on campbellsci.com and 1 external page.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “When Measurements Matter”.
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://www.campbellsci.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.
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
44%The HTML your server sends has 547 of the 1,255 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
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.
1 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.
Other pages
14 pages without a title
/environmental, /infrastructure, /renewable-energy, /about, /environmental/aviation-weather and /environmental/extreme-applications and 8 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
14 pages without a meta description
/environmental, /infrastructure, /renewable-energy, /about, /environmental/aviation-weather and /environmental/extreme-applications and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves

Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
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.
Best practices
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
21 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.campbellsci.com/auth/microsoft?return_to=%2F (404).
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (campbellsci.com).
Valid certificate (53 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for campbellsci.com and is valid for another 53 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://campbellsci.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
security.txt published
A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
campbellsci.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 30 years old
30 yearscampbellsci.com was registered in Mar 1996 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only sectigo.com, amazon.com, letsencrypt.org and digicert.com to issue certificates for campbellsci.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Mar 2031
campbellsci.com is registered until Mar 2031.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 1,255 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,255 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE” and “Learn More”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Learn More” and “Contact”.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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 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 include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 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.
13 other companies contacted
