prostep.com website review

1 image could be 822 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

The page has 1,590 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 43 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.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 25 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).

1 third-party service load with your homepage (14v.de), adding 22 KiB and 14 ms of main-thread time.

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

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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 see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 85 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

csm_Whitepaper_MADWYN_EN_b205d2c0fa.png weighs 564 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example csm_Whitepaper_MADWYN_EN_b205d2c0fa.png at 575 px wide, shown at 90 px. Resized copies would save about 439 KiB.

7 images further down the page (730 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (564 KiB) is 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 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Your title is only 29 characters: “PROSTEP Group | PROSTEP Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No XML sitemap at https://prostep.noah.14v.de/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

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

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

The homepage links to 354 pages on prostep.com and 13 external pages.

There is no https://www.prostep.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.

https://www.prostep.com/en and / all use the title “PROSTEP Group | PROSTEP Group”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/, https://www.prostep.com/en/search-results, https://www.prostep.com/en/digital-thread-platform/openpdm-migrate/migrate-to-3dexperience, https://www.prostep.com/en/digital-thread-platform/openpdm-migrate/migrate-to-windchill and https://www.prostep.com/en/digital-thread-platform/openpdm-migrate/migrate-to-teamcenter have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is https://www.prostep.com/en. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 115 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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

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

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

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

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 788 words of visible text.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
