One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.0 s · 13.6 MB88 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13.6 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.0 s · 6.2 MB49 images could be 6.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.9 s · 919 KiBAbout 919 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Font display
1.9 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.9 s).
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 652 ms
652 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 652 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 329 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 245 ms
245 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 245 ms of main-thread work and 295 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.
Unpkg adds 86 ms
86 msUnpkg costs a phone 86 ms of main-thread work and 575 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
120 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 28.2 s
28.2 sYour largest element takes 28.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to improve site performance, analyze usage, …”. Most of its time is element render delay (12.3 s).
Speed Index: 21.3 s
21.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 21.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 52.3 s
52.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 52.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 748 ms
748 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 748 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 39% slower for real visitors
+39%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 140 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 47% slower for real visitors
+47%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 7.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.126
0.126The layout shifts by 0.126 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
3 images without width and height
3 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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 29.5 MB in 196 requests
29.5 MBYour homepage downloads 29.5 MB in 196 requests on a phone: images 14.5 MB (97), other files 8.6 MB (45) and media 3.5 MB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
91 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example logo-light.png at 2,230 px wide, shown at 150 px. Resized copies would save about 91 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (95 KiB) is 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.
About 8.4 g of CO₂ per visit
8.37 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.37 g of CO₂e: 1004.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 3 failed. 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.
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 long (251 characters)
Your meta description is 251 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.stcsc.sa/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at stcsc.sa/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
10 links with vague text
10 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
7 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 7 pages on stcsc.sa and 0 external pages.
3 checks passed
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Specialized by STC - Critical Communication Solutions”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.stcsc.sa/en.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://www.stcsc.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.
1 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.
Other pages
6 pages share a title
https://www.stcsc.sa/en, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/about, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/solutions, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/industries, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/contact and https://www.stcsc.sa/ar all use the title “Specialized by STC - Critical Communication Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages share a meta description
https://www.stcsc.sa/en/about, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/solutions, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/industries, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/contact and https://www.stcsc.sa/ar use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
5 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.stcsc.sa/en/about, whose canonical is https://www.stcsc.sa/en. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
5 pages without an H1
https://www.stcsc.sa/en/about, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/solutions, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/industries, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/contact and https://www.stcsc.sa/ar have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
https://www.stcsc.sa/en/about, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/solutions, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/industries, https://www.stcsc.sa/en/contact and https://www.stcsc.sa/ar have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
5 internal pages checked
We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed

All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 distorted images
3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 18 words
The homepage has only about 18 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity (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.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 stcsc.sa, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
