Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 8.3 MB8 images could be 8.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Bazaarvoice and craft.cloud and others), adding 9.0 MB and 167 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
craft.cloud adds 16 ms
16 mscraft.cloud costs a phone 16 ms of main-thread work and 8.6 MB 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
124 KiBAbout 124 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
29 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).
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: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 198 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 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: 4.4 s
4.4 sYour largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Largest content (LCP) got 88% slower for real visitors
+88%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.7 s

Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 77 ms to 70 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 30 ms
30 msScripts block the page for only 30 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.0 MB in 31 requests
9.0 MBYour homepage downloads 9.0 MB in 31 requests on a phone: images 8.6 MB (17), scripts 310 KiB (4) and fonts 105 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
173 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example logo.png at 1,464 px wide, shown at 171 px. Resized copies would save about 173 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (198 KiB) is 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.
About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit
2.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.56 g of CO₂e: 307.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 24 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page with very little text
/where-to-buy has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
3 pages slow to respond

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
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.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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 (mateos.com).
Valid certificate (82 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for mateos.com and is valid for another 82 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://mateos.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 17 links work
All 17 links checked from your homepage (11 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 5 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
mateos.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
mateos.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 24 years old
24 yearsmateos.com was registered in Jan 2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jan 2030
mateos.com is registered until Jan 2030.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 269 words of copy
The homepage carries about 269 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: “Where To Buy”.
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Where To Buy” and “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
mateos.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
mateos.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
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.
Domain receives no email
mateos.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
Privacy and tracking
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts 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).
