Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • 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: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Real visitors wait 6.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Real visitors wait 4.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% slower for real visitors

    +30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.0 s to 6.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 115 ms

    115 ms

    Real visitors wait 115 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight

3 to fix43
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB

    5.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.7 MB on a phone, 4.0 MB of it images (70%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example shutterstock_609092363-scaled.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 306 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 16 images below the first screen load straight away

    16 images further down the page (2.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.62 g of CO₂e: 194.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

12 to fix79
  • 15 buttons without a name

    15 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (29 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 29 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.

  • 41 links without text

    41 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 27 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 27 passed and 11 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fix97
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 100 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 100 pages on ide-tech.com and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 114 characters

    Your meta description is 114 characters: “IDE Tech - Development, engineering, construction and operation of advanced water treatment & desalination plants.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “A WORLD LEADER IN SUSTAINABLE WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Water Treatment and Desalination Solutions | IDE Technologies”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ide-tech.com/en/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://ide-tech.com/en/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 (635 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /en/water-solutions/sea-water-desalination and /en/water-solutions/sea-water-desalination/intake-and-outfall-systems took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fix87
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

  • 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 (ide-tech.com).

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for ide-tech.com and is valid for another 89 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ide-tech.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors; 40 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    ide-tech.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    ide-tech.com was registered in Apr 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for ide-tech.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Apr 2031

    ide-tech.com is registered until Apr 2031.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 794 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 794 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact an Expert” and “Learn More”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Contact an Expert” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 33 testimonial or review blocks and 7 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ide-tech.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 mx ip4:23.90.104.35 ip4:31.168.225.197 ip4:207.54.72.176 ip4:212.25.105.250 include:aspmx.pardot.com include:spf…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
