4gold.eu does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
7.2 s · 2.6 MB22 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Shopify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 758 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 561 KiBAbout 561 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 279 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,044 HTML elements
The page has 2,044 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 110 ms
110 msShopify costs a phone 110 ms of main-thread work and 403 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
224 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (224 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
38 KiBAbout 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.5 MB in 257 requests
20.5 MBYour homepage downloads 20.5 MB in 257 requests on a phone: media 13.3 MB (2), images 4.3 MB (32) and scripts 1.5 MB (82). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (121 KiB) 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (201 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit
5.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.80 g of CO₂e: 696.0 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
33 text elements with low contrast
33 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 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 (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
18 links without text
18 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 112 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
