Speed

5 to fix69
  • Improve image delivery

    2.5 s · 3.2 MB

    12 images could be 3.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 71). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 345 KiB

    About 345 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 359 ms

    359 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 734 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 on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 857 KiB and 399 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 897 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 204 ms

    204 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 204 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 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: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 117 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 146 ms

    146 ms

    Real visitors wait 146 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% faster for real visitors

    -27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 101 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.005

    0.005

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.005, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 21.0 MB in 90 requests

    21.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 21.0 MB in 90 requests on a phone: images 16.8 MB (49), media 2.9 MB (5) and scripts 800 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images over 500 KB

    10 images weigh 11.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 11 images far larger than shown

    4.0 MB

    11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example DERMATOLOGIST-LED.png at 1,254 px wide, shown at 336 px. Resized copies would save about 4.0 MB.

  • 35 images in older formats

    35 images (16.5 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.

  • 27 images below the first screen load straight away

    27 images further down the page (8.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 6.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.96 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.96 g of CO₂e: 714.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8388
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

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

  • Positive tabindex

    1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 12 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9280
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “Home - MS Clinical Research”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 47 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 47 pages on msclinical.com and 3 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Your Global Research Partner”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.msclinical.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.msclinical.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 https://www.msclinical.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.

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 (1,155 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.msclinical.com/service/cytology, https://www.msclinical.com/service/histology-immunohistochemistry, https://www.msclinical.com/service/microbiology, https://www.msclinical.com/service/stability, https://www.msclinical.com/service/safety-testing and https://www.msclinical.com/service/skin-care and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.msclinical.com/service/personal-hygiene-and-care 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 2 small tap targets

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

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 343 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 343 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (7 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block, 1 customer or partner logo, 3 trust badges and “350+ clients”.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 msclinical.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
