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
1.4 s · 1.7 MB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 1.1 MB3 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
740 ms · 130 KiBAbout 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 740 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 279 KiBAbout 279 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 254 KiB and 203 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 10 KiB10 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 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 312 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 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 FCP: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.3 s
2.3 sReal visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “EMCORE”. Most of its time is resource load delay (1.9 s).
Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.5 s
3.5 sReal visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 72% slower for real visitors
+72%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

Real-user INP: 91 ms
91 msReal visitors wait 91 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 111 ms
111 msScripts block the page for only 111 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
108 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example SDI-logo2-scaled.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 366 px. Resized copies would save about 108 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (133 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 66.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 42 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 42 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (4), scripts 522 KiB (19) and stylesheets 138 KiB (10). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (23 characters)
Your title is only 23 characters: “Systron Donner - EMCORE”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Systron Donner Inertial is Now EMCORE” and “EMCORE acquired Systron Donner Inertial in 2019, …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
115 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 115 pages on systron.com and 1 external page.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 133 characters
Your meta description is 133 characters: “Emcore purchased Systron Donner Inertial (SDI) in 2019. Systron Donner supplies the high performance MEMS Inertial Sens…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.emcore.com/company/systron-donner/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.emcore.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.emcore.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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (495 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.emcore.com/solutions/military-ground-vehicle-navigation and https://www.emcore.com/applications/navigation-control/military-ground-vehicle-navigation all use the title “Military Ground Vehicle Navigation - EMCORE”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.emcore.com/products, https://www.emcore.com/gyros-multi-axis-sensors, https://www.emcore.com/inertial-measurement-units-imu, https://www.emcore.com/inertial-navigation-systems-ins and https://www.emcore.com/tacnav-tactical-navigation have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.emcore.com/products has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 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

Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
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
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Only about 231 words
The homepage has only about 231 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact” and “Sign up”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 systron.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
