Speed
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 11.9 MB11 images could be 11.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
540 ms · 196 KiBAbout 196 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 540 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
400 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
190 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (190 KiB).
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Maps and Google Fonts and others), adding 327 KiB and 94 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 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.

Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 172 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 15.9 s
15.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 15.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.435
0.435The layout shifts by 0.435 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 4.7 s
4.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
1 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 1 ms
1 msScripts block the page for only 1 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.0 MB in 32 requests
13.0 MBYour homepage downloads 13.0 MB in 32 requests on a phone: images 12.4 MB (16), scripts 419 KiB (7) and fonts 120 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 9.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images far larger than shown
6.9 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1-header-home-page-quantumcube-3.png at 2,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 6.9 MB.
7 images in older formats
7 images (9.7 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (46 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit
3.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.68 g of CO₂e: 441.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (86 characters)
Your title is 86 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Home - SEMIC RF Electronic GmbH - RF & Microwave - Artificial Intelligence - AI - SaaS”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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 (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://semic.de/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
35 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 35 pages on semic.de and 0 external pages.
1 checks passed
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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://semic.de/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 (403 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://semic.de/en/ai-io/data-safety has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
https://semic.de/de/startseite, https://semic.de/en/ai-io/overview, https://semic.de/en/ai-io/data-safety, https://semic.de/en/ai-io/worlds-first-software-defined-gpu, https://semic.de/en/ai-io/redefining-data-storage-for-the-quantum-age-and-beyond and https://semic.de/en/ai-io/semic-eyescan and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
Scrolls sideways on phones
On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.
4 small tap targets
4 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Potentially unhandled rejection [1] InvalidValueError at _.dl (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCWU8_A…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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 325 words of copy
The homepage carries about 325 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and 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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 semic.de, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
