Speed

10 to fix52
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.5 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.9 s · 377 KiB

    About 377 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and iubenda and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1,016 KiB

    About 1,016 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    550 ms · 199 KiB

    3 images could be 199 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 455 ms

    455 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 455 ms of main-thread work and 658 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.

  • Google CDN adds 280 ms

    280 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 731 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.

  • Font display

    350 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    32 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Document request latency

    145 KiB

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

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    47 KiB

    47 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    29 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 82 but mobile only 52. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 475 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix50
  • 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 FCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.3 s

    30.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Your largest element takes 6.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • 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: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 318 ms

    318 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 318 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 110 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.5 MB in 97 requests

    5.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 97 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (43), images 1,021 KiB (21) and stylesheets 413 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (391 KiB) 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 (231 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.57 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.57 g of CO₂e: 188.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8891
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 18 form fields without a label

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

  • 6 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Meta description is long (191 characters)

    Your meta description is 191 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 129 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 129 pages on spea.com and 21 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Half a century of testing the electronics that run the world.”.

  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “SPEA | Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.spea.com/en/.

  • Structured data in place

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.spea.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.spea.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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (985 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.spea.com/products/process-control-software has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.spea.com/electronic-board-test, whose canonical is https://www.spea.com/en/electronic-board-test. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 86 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 small tap targets

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

  • 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

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

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

  • A 18-field form

    Your longest form asks for 18 fields (17 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 298 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 298 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Learn more” and “learn more”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: iubenda

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

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