mdsgroup.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 70). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 430 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

2 images could be 560 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

Google CDN costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 348 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 load with your homepage (Google CDN, Cookiebot and mPulse and others), adding 615 KiB and 344 ms of main-thread time.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (39 KiB).

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

Real visitors wait 4.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 4.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 34.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 98 ms to 98 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 10.2 MB in 66 requests on a phone: images 9.2 MB (43), scripts 876 KiB (13) and stylesheets 60 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images (105 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.90 g of CO₂e: 347.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

There is no robots.txt at mdsgroup.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 45 pages on mdsgroup.com and 24 external pages.

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.

There is no https://www.mdsgroup.com/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.

Your homepage links to https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/noticias/detalhes.php, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt, https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/solucoes and / all use the title “Global Insurance and Risk Consultants - MDS Portugal”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.mdsgroup.com/en has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/procurar, https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/descubra-a-mds/quem-somos, https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/descubra-a-mds/como-trabalhamos, https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/descubra-a-mds/a-nossa-historia, https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/descubra-a-mds/management-team and https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/solucoes and 7 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/media/mds-news, whose canonical is https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/noticias. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://www.mdsgroup.com/pt/procurar 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 322 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
