Speed

9 to fix31
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 1.5 MB

    75 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.0 s · 342 KiB

    About 342 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 80). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Maps and srcspot.com and others), adding 855 KiB and 646 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    650 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 650 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 227 KiB

    19 images could be 227 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 64 KiB

    About 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 498 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 80 but mobile only 31. 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 805 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix29
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    Your largest element takes 14.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WE CARRY WHAT MATTERS”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 1

    1

    The layout shifts by 1 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 87 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 251 ms

    251 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 251 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.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 101 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 101 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (67), scripts 916 KiB (16) and fonts 179 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.7 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

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 45 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9277
  • Title is long (72 characters)

    Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Leading Manufacturer of Highly Engineered Components and Systems | DexKo”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“We Carry What Matters”, “We Carry What Matters” and “We Carry What Matters”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (208 characters)

    Your meta description is 208 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 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 set, so this is minor.

  • 116 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 116 pages on dexko.com and 8 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.dexko.com/.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://dexko.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 (825 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix75
  • 1 page without a title

    /about-us/acquisitions has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /about-us/acquisitions has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /about-us/acquisitions 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 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for dexko.com and is valid for another 47 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://dexko.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dexko.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

    dexko.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 11 years old

    11 years

    dexko.com was registered in Sep 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2031

    dexko.com is registered until Sep 2031.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 753 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 753 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Learn More”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

100
  • 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 ip4:45.62.178.137 ip4:45.62.179.60 ip4:185.114.121.114 ip4:35.80.141.6 ip4:44.229.121.55 ip4:148.59.100.16/28 in…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
