Speed

9 to fix58
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    13.3 s · 9.1 MB

    35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.1 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    5.8 s · 1.8 MB

    5 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    6.0 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.0 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    4.0 s · 803 KiB

    About 803 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 558 KiB

    About 558 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    900 ms · 162 KiB

    162 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 74). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 55 KiB

    55 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Google CDN adds 64 ms

    64 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 64 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, jQuery CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 519 KiB and 166 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    48 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 153 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 109 ms

    109 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 109 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.0 s

    20.0 s

    Your largest element takes 20.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Auch wir nutzen Cookies um Ihnen eine bestmögliche Website-…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.3 s

    20.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 64 ms to 72 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 75 ms

    75 ms

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

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 582 ms

    582 ms

    Real visitors wait 582 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 26 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 9.7 MB in 40 requests

    9.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.7 MB in 40 requests on a phone: media 5.8 MB (2), images 2.0 MB (10) and scripts 912 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    1.5 MB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example IT-Consulting-Teaser.jpg at 8,688 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (1.9 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.76 g of CO₂e: 330.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 7389
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (26 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 26 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9284
  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Meta description is long (233 characters)

    Your meta description is 233 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (contao:Page) but with 1 problem, for example “contao:Page: @context is not schema.org ({"contao":"https://schema.contao.org/"})”.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 76 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 76 pages on scmt.com and 11 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Consulting, Recruiting & Weiterbildung”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Steinbeis Center of Management and Technology | SCMT - scmt.com”.

  • 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.scmt.com/share/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 https://www.scmt.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 (989 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.scmt.com/News.html, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 1 page that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • No social proof

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

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    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.

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 827 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 827 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Register”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Register”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 3 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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