mining-technology.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
12.4 s · 2.4 MB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.0 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s25 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 194 KiBAbout 194 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 73). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Optanon and datadome.co and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 810 ms
810 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 810 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 60 KiB2 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Minify JavaScript
330 ms · 62 KiB62 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,543 HTML elements
The page has 1,543 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
170 ms · 29 KiB29 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 73 but mobile only 38. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 10.4 s
10.4 sThe first text or image appears after 10.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 30.5 s
30.5 sYour largest element takes 30.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “As part of GlobalData's extensive network of websites, this…”.
Time to Interactive: 30.6 s
30.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 30.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.4 s

Total Blocking Time: 747 ms
747 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 747 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
25 images without width and height
25 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.0 MB in 173 requests
6.0 MBYour homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 173 requests on a phone: scripts 4.5 MB (96), images 637 KiB (33) and other files 405 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.71 g of CO₂e: 205.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (7 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Unlabelled dropdowns
2 dropdowns have no label.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
23 form fields without a label
23 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 66 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 14 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
223 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 223 pages on mining-technology.com and 22 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 55 characters
Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Mining Industry News & Insights - Trends & Developments”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.mining-technology.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://www.mining-technology.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (1,676 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /projects, whose canonical is /projects-a-z. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked

Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://mine.nridigital.com/mine_oct26/issue_162 (404).
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
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 (mining-technology.com).
Valid certificate (61 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for mining-technology.com and is valid for another 61 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
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://mining-technology.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 54 days
mining-technology.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
mining-technology.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
mining-technology.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old
29 yearsmining-technology.com was registered in Dec 1996 through Register SPA. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
A 10-field form
Your longest form asks for 10 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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 1,554 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,554 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Buy Reports” and “Contact Us”.
9 calls to action
The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Buy Reports”, “Contact Us” and “Sign up”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Umami.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
mining-technology.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
mining-technology.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
mining-technology.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.
