Speed

13 to fix33
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 9.3 MB

    136 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.3 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    3.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Main-thread work: 10.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 10.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 52). 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 Tag Manager, Google CDN and smatbot.com and others), adding 2.4 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 MB

    13 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 937 ms

    937 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 937 ms of main-thread work and 825 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.

  • Google CDN adds 905 ms

    905 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 905 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.

  • smatbot.com adds 419 ms

    419 ms

    smatbot.com costs a phone 419 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 289 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,741 HTML elements

    The page has 1,741 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 68 KiB

    About 68 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    147 KiB

    147 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 209 ms

    209 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 209 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Real visitors wait 6.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    Your largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 19.2 s

    19.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 19.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.7 s

    21.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 32 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 118 ms to 127 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 128 ms

    128 ms

    Real visitors wait 128 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01

    0.01

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 15.9 MB in 191 requests

    15.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.9 MB in 191 requests on a phone: images 12.5 MB (76), scripts 2.6 MB (44) and other files 372 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images over 500 KB

    5 images weigh 7.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 19 images below the first screen load straight away

    19 images further down the page (9.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 23 images in older formats

    23 images (5.6 MB) 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 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.51 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.51 g of CO₂e: 541.3 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

9 to fixGoogle 7389
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 48 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (52 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 52 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

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

  • 5 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (6 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8581
  • No structured data

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

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (171 characters)

    Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 201 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 201 pages on mku.com and 6 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “MKU Limited | Global Defence Technology Leader”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.mku.com/en-gb/.

  • 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.mku.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    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.

  • 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.

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 (1,213 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 89 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot set properties of null (setting 'innerHTML')”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://mku.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.mku.com/en-gb/mid-cut-cmbat-helmet.

  • 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 (mku.com).

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for mku.com and is valid for another 80 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://mku.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 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    mku.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

    mku.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 28 years old

    28 years

    mku.com was registered in Apr 1998 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    mku.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No call to action on the first screen

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

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 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 652 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 652 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Sign Up” and “SIGNUP”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:65.1.191.50 ip4:52.172.39.144 ip4:103.112.12.146 ip4:103.112.12.147 ip4:103.112.12.149 ip4:103.108.7.30 ip4:…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 2.1.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
