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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7.0 s · 2.4 MB139 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.8 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.8 s53 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 20
20/100Your mobile performance score is 20. 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 CDN, Google Maps and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
820 ms · 179 KiBAbout 179 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 820 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 410 ms
410 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 410 ms of main-thread work and 714 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.
Google Maps adds 306 ms
306 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 306 ms of main-thread work and 630 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 288 ms
288 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 232 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Improve image delivery
148 KiB6 images could be 148 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

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: 5.7 s
5.7 sReal visitors wait 5.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.38
0.38For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.38 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 20.3 s
20.3 sYour largest element takes 20.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 20.5 s
20.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 12.2 s
12.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.399
0.399The layout shifts by 0.399 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 802 ms
802 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 802 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 1.6 s
1.6 sReal visitors wait 1.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user INP: 137 ms
137 msReal visitors wait 137 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 10% faster for real visitors
-10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 126 ms to 116 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 171 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 171 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (96), images 1,023 KiB (16) and fonts 310 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ESG-Report-FY2025_hero-banner-1-700x311.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
7 images in older formats
7 images (276 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (225 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 131.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6 and h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 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: 41 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “DyStar Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“NEW! – Realan® Fast Black N”, “Dianix® Black XF3 300%” and “Welcome to DyStar”). 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.dystar.com/wp-sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
9 links with vague text
9 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.
173 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 173 pages on dystar.com and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 129 characters
Your meta description is 129 characters: “DyStar Group is a solution provider, offering customers across the globe a complete range of colorants, auxiliaries and…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.dystar.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.dystar.com/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.
3 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (621 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.dystar.com/dystar-office-locations, https://www.dystar.com/carpet-solutions and https://www.dystar.com/food-beverage-industry have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages share a meta description
https://www.dystar.com/dystar-industries, https://www.dystar.com/textile-leather and https://www.dystar.com/paints-coatings-industrial-construction use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 67 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'regional')”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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 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 285 words of copy
The homepage carries about 285 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Shop CSI”, “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
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 Meta Pixel (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
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at dystar.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
