Speed

11 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.5 s · 747 KiB

    70 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (747 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.7 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 53). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    550 ms · 447 KiB

    9 images could be 447 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 156 KiB

    About 156 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 496 ms

    496 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 496 ms of main-thread work and 978 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 254 ms

    254 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 325 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.

  • Vimeo adds 53 ms

    53 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 53 ms of main-thread work and 551 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.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix39
  • Time to Interactive: 28.4 s

    28.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Your largest element takes 8.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WELCOME TO M5D, FORMERLY MASTERGRAPHICS & CIMQUEST We are e…”.

  • Speed Index: 12.0 s

    12.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.24

    0.24

    The layout shifts by 0.24 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 447 ms

    447 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 447 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 168 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 168 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (48), images 1.0 MB (43) and fonts 441 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    [email protected] 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).

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (209 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (138 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 145.1 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

9 to fixGoogle 7886
  • 2 buttons without a name

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

  • 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.

  • Hidden but focusable

    8 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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.

  • 13 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8578
  • Title is short (8 characters)

    Your title is only 8 characters: “M5D Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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 (“Fuse X1”, “” and “HEY!Are you”). 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.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 92 internal links, 28 external

    The homepage links to 92 pages on mastergraphics.com and 28 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “M5D, formerly MasterGraphics, offers 3D printing and wide format solutions, ensuring clients achieve efficiency and inn…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.m5d.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.m5d.com/sitemap.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 (903 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /formlabs-3d-printers, /formlabs-form-4l and /formlabs-fuse-1-30w use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /hp-mjf-1200, /hp-if600ht-3d-printer and /formlabs-fuse-x1 have 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 69 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5483
  • 16 small tap targets

    16 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 8 third-party cookies

    8 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 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 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://mastergraphicsinc.sharepoint.com/intranet/Pages/default.aspx.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (m5d.com).

  • Valid certificate (44 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for mastergraphics.com and is valid for another 44 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://mastergraphics.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 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    m5d.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

    m5d.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 22 years old

    22 years

    m5d.com was registered in Sep 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    m5d.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 523 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 523 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: “CONTACT US - (800) 873.7238” and “SHOP”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us - (800) 873.7238” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:216.33.90.177 ip4:216.33.91.254 ip4:12.145.174.146 ip4:12.148.202.146 include:spf.protection.outlook.com inc…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 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.
