masterfluids.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.1 s · 1.1 MB14 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.1 s · 937 KiB51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (937 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 53). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 362 ms
362 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cdn-cookieyes.com and Cloudflare and others), adding 366 KiB and 408 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 23 KiB23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 428 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.8 s
10.8 sYour largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.534
0.534The layout shifts by 0.534 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 10.8 s
10.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.8 s
3.8 sReal visitors wait 3.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.11
0.11For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.1 s
5.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 228 ms
228 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 228 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 3.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 104 ms
104 msReal visitors wait 104 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 70 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 70 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (26), fonts 418 KiB (1) and scripts 405 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images in older formats
11 images (553 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (185 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.2 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
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 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.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
21 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 21 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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 (188 characters)
Your meta description is 188 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.masterfluids.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
386 internal links, 30 external
The homepage links to 386 pages on masterfluids.com and 30 external pages.
3 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Master Fluid Solutions | Cutting Edge Metalworking Solutions”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.masterfluids.com/eu/en/index.php.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
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 (1,431 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages share a title
/eu/en/products/show-all-products.php, /eu/en/products/show-new-products.php and /eu/en/products/show-discontinued-products.php all use the title “Metalworking Products from Master Fluid Solutions - Master Fluid Solu…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
/eu/en/choose-region-language/index.php, /eu/en/products/show-category.php and /eu/en/blog/index.php have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages share a meta description
/eu/en/products/show-all-products.php, /eu/en/products/show-new-products.php and /eu/en/products/show-discontinued-products.php use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /eu/en/products/show-all-products.php, whose canonical is /eu/en/products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/eu/en/blog/index.php has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
/eu/en/technical-information/data-sheets.php, /eu/en/products/show-category.php, /eu/en/products/show-discontinued-products.php and /eu/en/solutions/the-coolant-management-company.php took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
11 distorted images
11 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed

9 yearsmasterfluids.com was registered in Dec 2016 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
DNSSEC is on
masterfluids.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a:k59437.coveto.de ip4:49.248.217.106 ip4:72.240.58.254 ip4:217.86.211.67 ip4:191.238.53.24 ip4:52.226.241.48 ip…”.
DKIM signing found
