Speed

9 to fix17
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    9.2 s · 3.1 MB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.4 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 17

    17/100

    Your mobile performance score is 17 (desktop: 36). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 478 KiB

    8 images could be 478 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 706 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    310 ms · 163 KiB

    About 163 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 386 ms

    386 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 386 ms of main-thread work and 707 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 870 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, zohopublic.in and zohocdn.com and others), adding 854 KiB and 420 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Real visitors wait 4.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.74

    0.74

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.74 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    Your largest element takes 16.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “E-Commerce-Products.jpg”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.47

    0.47

    The layout shifts by 0.47 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 837 ms

    837 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 837 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 933 ms

    933 ms

    Real visitors wait 933 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 153 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 3.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 153 ms

    153 ms

    Real visitors wait 153 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix31
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 69 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 69 requests on a phone: other files 2.3 MB (25), scripts 1.9 MB (8) and images 1.8 MB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    564 KiB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example AMS_ITV.png at 600 px wide, shown at 91 px. Resized copies would save about 564 KiB.

  • 15 images in older formats

    15 images (1.1 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    4-bar-factory.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.76 g of CO₂e: 210.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9491
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has 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. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 33 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

9 to fixGoogle 8363
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (3 characters)

    Your title is only 3 characters: “SMC”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (31 characters)

    Your meta description is only 31 characters: “One place for all of your needs”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No canonical URL

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

  • 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.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

2 checks passed
  • 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.smcin.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 1,545 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.smcin.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.

1 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9691
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 distorted images

    6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 1,545 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,545 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 smcin.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
