Core Web Vitals

5 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Real visitors wait 6.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Real visitors wait 3.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.25

    0.25

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.25 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.1 s to 6.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Tap response (INP) got 40% faster for real visitors

    -40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 206 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB on a phone. Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 82.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fix96
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 14 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 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fix88
  • No structured data

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

  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“MKS to sell Ophir® Optics Business”, “The Next Generation has arrived” and “Better. Faster. Consistent.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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 X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 188 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 188 pages on esi.com and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “ESI delivers market-leading solutions for Flexible PCB laser processing, HDI PCB laser processing and high-speed MLCC t…”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “ESI - Electro Scientific Industries”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://api.p1.mks.com/occ/v2/esi/sitemap/sitemapindex.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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

3 to fix83
  • 2 pages share a title

    /f/allegro-xp-mlcc-testing-system and /f/mlcc-machine-tooling all use the title “MKS Inc.”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /f/capstone-laser-system, /f/geode-g2-laser-via-drilling-system, /f/allegro-xp-mlcc-testing-system, /f/mlcc-machine-tooling and /f/replacement-carrier-plates have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /f/allegro-xp-mlcc-testing-system and /f/mlcc-machine-tooling have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /f/geode-g2-laser-via-drilling-system, /s/mlcc-testing, /f/allegro-xp-mlcc-testing-system and /f/mlcc-machine-tooling took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fix71
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://api.p1.mks.com/medias/sys_master/logos/logos/hf0/hd4/9850584498206/logo-mks-esi-wht.png.

  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 24 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (55 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 verifies for esi.com and is valid for another 55 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.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (37 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 25 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    esi.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

    esi.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 28 years old

    28 years

    esi.com was registered in Jul 1998 through Key-Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    esi.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 104 words

    The homepage has only about 104 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 risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

2 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

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

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • 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
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf-00369f01.pphosted.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com ip4:198.102.182.42 mx mx:pdxms02.esi.com ~a…”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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).
