Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 255 KiB7 images could be 255 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 287 ms
287 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 355 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Twitter Online Conversion Tracking and Mailchimp and others), adding 377 KiB and 323 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
159 KiBAbout 159 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.2 s

Images and page weight
3 images in older formats
3 images (163 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.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 64.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 89 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 89 requests on a phone: scripts 713 KiB (46), images 633 KiB (23) and fonts 421 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 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 short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “Mattek - Part of Sartorius”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

The homepage links to 185 pages on mattek.com and 6 external pages.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

3 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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (850 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/applicationcategory/dermal is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
/application/epi2sensa-oecd-tg442d, /application/anti-aging, /application/anti-psoriasis-drug-screening, /application/drug-delivery and /application/genotoxicity have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
