Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.7 s · 2.0 MB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.0 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
510 ms · 96 KiBAbout 96 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 510 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
300 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Heap and Google CDN and others), adding 292 KiB and 259 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 20 KiB1 image could be 20 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Document request latency
10 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.

Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 297 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 38 ms
38 msYour server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.0 s
7.0 sYour largest element takes 7.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We Have You Covered Increase your lab’s productivity with t…”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.0 s
7.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 42 ms
42 msScripts block the page for only 42 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 31 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 31 requests on a phone: media 1.5 MB (9), scripts 331 KiB (9) and images 301 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)
Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
22 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 33 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 22 passed and 11 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “Home Page”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“We Have You Covered”, “Get to Know Us” and “Develop Your Business With ZEUS”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at zeusscientific.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
4 links with vague text
4 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.
23 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 23 pages on zeusscientific.com and 4 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://zeusscientific.com/sitemap.xml.
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://zeusscientific.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
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (195 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
14 internal pages checked
We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
9 small tap targets
9 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
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 184 words
The homepage has only about 184 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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: “How to Buy” and “Contact Us”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “How to Buy”, “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Heap.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Heap (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.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 zeusscientific.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
