evgroup.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.9 s · 10.3 MB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10.3 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 9.6 MB12 images could be 9.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
46,742 HTML elements
The page has 46,742 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
900 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 900 ms).
Reduce unused JavaScript
490 ms · 111 KiBAbout 111 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 490 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Cookiebot adds 163 ms
163 msCookiebot costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 451 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot and cloudflare.com), adding 479 KiB and 174 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 32.7 s
32.7 sYour largest element takes 32.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

17.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 17.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 35.2 s
35.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 35.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.0 MB in 62 requests
11.0 MBYour homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 62 requests on a phone: images 10.3 MB (15), scripts 598 KiB (22) and stylesheets 37 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.11 g of CO₂e: 372.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (7 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (167 characters)
Your title is 167 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “EV Group | Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment and Process Solutions for Wafer Bonding,…”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (407 characters)
Your meta description is 407 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
65 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 65 pages on evgroup.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Imec and EV Group demonstrate wafer-to-wafer hybrid bonding with 200nm interconnect pitch and record high overlay accur…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.evgroup.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://www.evgroup.com/?type=1533906435.
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 (461 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages share a title
/, /ja and /zh all use the title “EV Group | Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment and Process Solution…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
10 pages without a meta description
/services, /contact, /products, /products/lithography, /products/bonding and /products/metrology and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/ja and /zh use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
/services 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 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (evgroup.com).
Valid certificate (130 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert EV RSA CA G2 verifies for evgroup.com and is valid for another 130 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://evgroup.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
evgroup.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
evgroup.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 27 years old

Registered until Jul 2029

Email authentication
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: 80/100

2 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 ip4:85.31.6.0/24 ip4:193.104.82.0/24 ip4:51.116.184.101 ip4:51.116.117.138 ip4:20.218.159.32 ip4:58.33.135.126 i…”.
