One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

10 to fix43
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 69). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (wpenginepowered.com, Google Tag Manager and Google Maps and others), adding 8.7 MB and 735 ms of main-thread time.

  • wpenginepowered.com adds 340 ms

    340 ms

    wpenginepowered.com costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 8.2 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    370 ms · 514 KiB

    About 514 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 370 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    610 ms · 119 KiB

    About 119 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    361 KiB

    11 images could be 361 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 314 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 553 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,765 HTML elements

    The page has 1,765 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    80 KiB

    80 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    13 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 69 but mobile only 43. 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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 CLS: 0.81

    0.81

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.81 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.0 s

    21.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.502

    0.502

    The layout shifts by 0.502 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Your largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Building Tomorrow’s Mines™ means delivering technical exper…”.

  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 56% slower for real visitors

    +56%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 206 ms

    206 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 206 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 78 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 88 ms

    88 ms

    Real visitors wait 88 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 12.6 MB in 126 requests

    12.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.6 MB in 126 requests on a phone: media 7.0 MB (3), images 4.1 MB (42) and scripts 1.2 MB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.58 g of CO₂e: 429.7 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

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8398
  • 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.

  • 114 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 114 pages on dmcmining.com and 13 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “DMC is a leading mining services contractor delivering end-to-end innovative solutions for mine development, shaft sink…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Building Tomorrow’s Mines ™”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “DMC Mining Services | Contract Mining, Shaft Sinking, Engineering”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://dmcmining.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://dmcmining.com/sitemap_index.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 (1,690 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    /innovation-ideas and /innovation-ideas/category/technology all use the title “Blog | Underground Mining, Shaft Sinking | DMC Mining Services”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /innovation-ideas and /innovation-ideas/category/technology use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /innovation-ideas and /innovation-ideas/category/technology have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /innovation-ideas/category/technology took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 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

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9283
  • 1 small tap target

    1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.

  • No HTML doctype

    The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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 http://www.evokesolutions.com/.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (67 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for dmcmining.com and is valid for another 67 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://dmcmining.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 41 links work

    All 41 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 9 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dmcmining.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

    dmcmining.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 18 years old

    18 years

    dmcmining.com was registered in Aug 2008 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2034

    dmcmining.com is registered until Aug 2034.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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 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 1,025 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,025 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More About Health & Safety” and “Learn More about SBR”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight.

  • 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

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be dmcmining.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:64.46.61.28 ip4:216.223.79.52 ip4:207.188.75.18 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It runs WordPress 5.0.0; the current release is 7.1.3.
  • 1 plugin is behind its latest release.contact-form-7 6.1.7 → 6.2.3
