426-upgrade.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

9 to fix94
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 MB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 163 KiB

    About 163 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

    624 KiB

    About 624 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 486 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 245 ms

    245 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 245 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    253 KiB

    5 images could be 253 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2,492 HTML elements

    The page has 2,492 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    60 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 60 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 94

    94/100

    Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix99
  • Time to Interactive: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

    7 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.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 100 ms

    100 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 100 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “When things get technically complicated, we hit the ground …”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 125 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 125 requests on a phone: media 2.2 MB (1), scripts 1.5 MB (50) and images 680 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    19 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 426-cso-stefanie-vaia-speaking-at-e-commerce-conference.jpg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 19 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (102 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (102 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 171.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7085
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 50 images without alt text

    50 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 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.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 458 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 458 pages on 426-upgrade.com and 14 external pages.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and description; sameAs (social profiles) and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,926 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /en/migration-shopware is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 3 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://426-upgrade.com goes through 3 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (426-upgrade.com).

  • Valid certificate (57 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 426-upgrade.com and is valid for another 57 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://426-upgrade.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 51 links work

    All 51 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 26 days

    426-upgrade.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

  • No CAA record

    426-upgrade.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    426-upgrade.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 2 years old

    2 years

    426-upgrade.com was registered in Nov 2023 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 822 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 822 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “< CONTACT >”, “Contact” and “SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 23 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 9 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.turbo-smtp.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:144743665.spf02.hubspotemail.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
