Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 580 KiB3 images could be 580 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
300 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).
Reduce unused JavaScript
54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 203 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 115 ms
115 msYour server sent the HTML in 115 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 8.7 s
8.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.7 s
3.7 sYour largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.1 s).
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.
4 checks passed
Time to Interactive: 3.7 s
3.7 sThe page is fully interactive after 3.7 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
4 images in older formats
4 images (662 KiB) 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
268 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example DSC_4609-Kopie-scaled-Kopie.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 268 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (63 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 49.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 63 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 63 requests on a phone: images 1.0 MB (20), scripts 246 KiB (24) and stylesheets 70 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main 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 main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 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: 43 passed and 5 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 (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “Startseite - CE Deutschland”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“CE cideon engineering – die Möglichmacher.” and “Kontakt”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
81 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 81 pages on cideon-engineering.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters
Your meta description is 141 characters: “Wir bieten Experten mit Erfahrung, die von der Konzeption über die Konstruktion bis zur Zulassung jede Perspektive im B…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://cideon-engineering.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.
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://cideon-engineering.com/sitemap_index.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 (303 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
/startseite/historie, /startseite/standorte, /startseite/netzwerk, /onsite-engineering-3, /produkte/mobile-sensorplattform and /produkte/mobiler-antriebspruefstand and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/startseite/unsere-werte and /consulting use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://cideon-engineering.com/de/produkte/hse-management/ (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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://siemens.de/.
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (cideon-engineering.com).
Valid certificate (147 days left)
The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 verifies for cideon-engineering.com and is valid for another 147 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://cideon-engineering.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 87 days
cideon-engineering.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
cideon-engineering.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
cideon-engineering.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 24 years old
24 yearscideon-engineering.com was registered in Jan 2002 through united-domains GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 241 words
The homepage has only about 241 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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 risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
1 checks passed

DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.nl2go.com include:spf.eu.exclaimer.net include:143838552.spf…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
