Speed

7 to fix60
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.1 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 366 KiB

    About 366 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 66). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    250 ms · 513 KiB

    5 images could be 513 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    450 ms · 31 KiB

    31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 298 ms

    298 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cdn-cookieyes.com and jQuery CDN and others), adding 878 KiB and 347 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 29 KiB

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

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 520 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    Your largest element takes 12.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A baby laying down and a doctor's hand using a stethoscope …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 95 ms

    95 ms

    Real visitors wait 95 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 604 ms

    604 ms

    Real visitors wait 604 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 118 ms

    118 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 118 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix58
  • Page weight: 2.0 MB in 81 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 81 requests on a phone: scripts 839 KiB (21), images 811 KiB (24) and fonts 309 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    327 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ribbon-cutting.jpg at 1,776 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 327 KiB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (518 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 (518 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 69.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8390
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Positive tabindex

    1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

  • 5 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8593
  • No social preview image

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

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 119 internal links, 24 external

    The homepage links to 119 pages on sterigenics.com and 24 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Sterigenics is a global leader in sterilization solutions in the medical device, pharmaceutical, advanced applications,…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Safeguarding Global Health®”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Sterigenics | Global Leader in Sterilization Solution”.

  • Canonical URL set

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (612 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://sterigenics.com/llms.txt (18 KiB, 85 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “clickdimensions is not defined”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 351 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 351 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Email Sign Up”, “Contact” and “Contact Us”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links 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

  • 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). A consent tool (CookieYes) 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 (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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