Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
27.4 s · 8.7 MB71 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
22.0 s · 7.4 MB32 images could be 7.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 22.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.5 s · 825 KiBAbout 825 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.5 s faster on a phone.
Font display
1.3 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.3 s).
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 24
24/100Your mobile performance score is 24. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 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 (amcharts.com, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
amcharts.com adds 884 ms
884 msamcharts.com costs a phone 884 ms of main-thread work and 380 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.
Google CDN adds 418 ms
418 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 457 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 258 ms
258 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
2,414 HTML elements
The page has 2,414 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 11 KiB11 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 128 ms
128 msYour server sent the HTML in 128 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 50.4 s
50.4 sYour largest element takes 50.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Data-driven, hypothesis-based, performance-oriented Growth …”.
Speed Index: 16.2 s
16.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 16.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 51.3 s
51.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 51.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.347
0.347The layout shifts by 0.347 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
37 images without width and height
37 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.

First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.1 MB in 110 requests
11.1 MBYour homepage downloads 11.1 MB in 110 requests on a phone: images 8.1 MB (35), scripts 1.9 MB (36) and fonts 558 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images far larger than shown
999 KiB14 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example BMW.png at 972 px wide, shown at 146 px. Resized copies would save about 999 KiB.
28 images in older formats
28 images (4.9 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.
19 images below the first screen load straight away
19 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.13 g of CO₂e: 376.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)
Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings should not be empty (26 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 26 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6 and h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
27 H1 headlines
There are 27 <h1> headlines (“Data-driven, hypothesis-based, performance-orient…”, “” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
25 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 25 pages on 22tribes.com and 10 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 137 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://22tribes.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://22tribes.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 /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 (469 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/resources and /case-studies all use the title “Case Studies - 22tribes”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
/resources, /case-studies and /case-studies/klubschule-migros have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
/services has 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.
15 internal pages checked

Best practices
Missing source maps

2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set

Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS

http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2

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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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.

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Hotjar.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 22tribes.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
