Speed

9 to fix61
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.0 s · 49.0 MB

    94 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (49.0 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.3 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 121 KiB

    About 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 832 KiB

    17 images could be 832 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    600 ms · 27 KiB

    27 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 625 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    302 KiB

    About 302 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Facebook adds 250 ms

    250 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 250 ms of main-thread work and 300 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 (Facebook, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 641 KiB and 500 ms of main-thread time.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    18 KiB

    18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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: 238 ms

    238 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 238 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 17.0 s

    17.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Your largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 18 images without width and height

    18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 123 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 199 ms

    199 ms

    Real visitors wait 199 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 174 ms

    174 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 174 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 51.2 MB in 117 requests

    51.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 51.2 MB in 117 requests on a phone: media 46.4 MB (13), images 2.0 MB (67) and other files 1.6 MB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (462 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 14.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    14.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 14.50 g of CO₂e: 1740.3 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

8 to fixGoogle 8489
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 20 images without alt text

    20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 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.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 38 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: 38 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8381
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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.

  • 19 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 57 internal links, 85 external

    The homepage links to 57 pages on mbdgroup.com and 85 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “MBD Group is leader in Education having 6 decade experience and recognized as MBD Publishers,deals in E-learning,M-lear…”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “MBD Group-Leading Publishing House | E-learning | Hospitality”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://mbdgroup.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,163 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://mbdgroup.com/llms.txt (1 KiB, 6 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    https://mbdgroup.com/education-publishing-printing and https://mbdgroup.com/education all use the title “Publishing House | Publishing House | Printing - MBD Group”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://mbdgroup.com/modern-publishers and https://mbdgroup.com/community have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    https://mbdgroup.com/education-publishing-printing and https://mbdgroup.com/education use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    https://mbdgroup.com/mbd-journey, https://mbdgroup.com/leadership-management, https://mbdgroup.com/about-us, https://mbdgroup.com/education-publishing-printing, https://mbdgroup.com/mbdgroup/hospitality and https://mbdgroup.com/education and 6 others 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 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 941 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 941 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: “Learn More”.

  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Learn More” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at mbdgroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
