Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
27.6 s · 9.7 MB58 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
8.0 s · 5.3 MB14 images could be 5.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused JavaScript
800 ms · 120 KiBAbout 120 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
800 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 800 ms).
Minify JavaScript
320 ms · 64 KiB64 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
160 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 74 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.
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: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 798 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 4.0 s
4.0 sReal visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.49
0.49For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.49 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 47.3 s
47.3 sYour largest element takes 47.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 48.8 s
48.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 48.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.6 s
8.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.455
0.455The layout shifts by 0.455 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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 3.2 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Tap response (INP) got 19% faster for real visitors
-19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 20 ms
20 msScripts block the page for only 20 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.8 MB in 65 requests
9.8 MBYour homepage downloads 9.8 MB in 65 requests on a phone: images 9.0 MB (19), scripts 329 KiB (21) and fonts 292 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images over 500 KB
6 images weigh 3.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
6 images far larger than shown
2.0 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example industrial_commercial.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 2.0 MB.
7 images in older formats
7 images (4.0 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (3.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.77 g of CO₂e: 332.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.
34 links without text
34 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
31 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: 31 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 meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “SMI - Home”. 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.
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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://smi.com.sa/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at smi.com.sa/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
123 internal links, 28 external
The homepage links to 123 pages on smi.com.sa and 28 external pages.
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://smi.com.sa/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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (511 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
7 pages share 2 titles
/ and https://smi.com.sa/usa all use the title “SMI - Home”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
https://smi.com.sa/usa, https://smi.com.sa/introduction, https://smi.com.sa/ceo-message, https://smi.com.sa/certificate-iso-9001, https://smi.com.sa/certificate-iso-14001 and https://smi.com.sa/certificate-iso-45001 and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://smi.com.sa/usa has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
https://smi.com.sa/design-research-development took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 small tap targets
3 of 5 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 “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 173 words
The homepage has only about 173 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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.
4 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Contact Page” and “Join Us”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 12 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
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 smi.com.sa, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
