One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 323 KiBAbout 323 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Improve image delivery
1.9 MB22 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 161 KiBAbout 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 32 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 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 Tag Manager), adding 172 KiB and 147 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
16 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.0 MB in 57 requests
11.0 MBYour homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 57 requests on a phone: media 6.9 MB (1), images 2.7 MB (38) and fonts 612 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
fabrik_carbon-capture-teaser.png weighs 623 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
22 images in older formats
22 images (2.5 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.
16 images below the first screen load straight away
16 images further down the page (1.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.10 g of CO₂e: 372.4 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
Unlabelled dropdowns
2 dropdowns have no label.
9 images without alt text
9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (20 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
4 links without text
4 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.
1 checks passed
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex, follow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
Meta description is long (173 characters)
Your meta description is 173 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.
9 links with vague text
9 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
109 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 109 pages on vega.com and 4 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Level and pressure instrumentation for the process industry”.
Title: 35 characters
Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “VEGA - Level - Switching - Pressure”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.vega.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization 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.vega.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.vega.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.
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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,095 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.vega.com/contact, https://www.vega.com/products, https://www.vega.com/industries, https://www.vega.com/downloads, https://www.vega.com/service-and-training and https://www.vega.com/company and 9 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.vega.com/company/vega-worldwide has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.vega.com/company/about-vega and https://www.vega.com/company/blog have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.vega.com/company/news-and-events took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 61 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
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 818 words of copy
The homepage carries about 818 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “email Contact”, “Register for free” and “Contact”.
1 short form

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
1 other company contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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 vega.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
