Speed

6 to fix46
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.2 s

    34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 71). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 1.1 MB

    10 images could be 1.1 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 90 KiB

    About 90 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 25 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25 KiB).

  • Cookiebot adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 31 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Google CDN and Google Fonts), adding 94 KiB and 285 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    58 KiB

    About 58 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    20 KiB

    20 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 71 but mobile only 46. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 590 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix0
  • 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: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Real visitors wait 7.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.72

    0.72

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.72 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 6.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Real visitors wait 5.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.711

    0.711

    The layout shifts by 0.711 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Your largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Total Vision Care Solution Explore our single-source soluti…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 328 ms

    328 ms

    Real visitors wait 328 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 187 ms to 249 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% slower for real visitors

    +21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.2 s to 6.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 27 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 97 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 97 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (21), scripts 449 KiB (39) and stylesheets 164 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.1 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

6 to fixGoogle 8691
  • 19 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links must have discernible text (10 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8578
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://sdctech.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at sdctech.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 11 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 196 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 196 pages on sdctech.com and 16 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “SDC Technologies is a global leader in high-performance coatings for optical, automotive, aerospace, and specialty appl…”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “SDC Technologies | High-Performance Coating Solutions”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sdctech.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

AI search readiness

1 to fix81
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) 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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (897 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 61 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 4 pages 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 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

  • 4 low-resolution images

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • 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 social proof

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

  • No analytics detected

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

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

  • 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 563 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 563 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Document Download” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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