Speed

6 to fix65
  • 6,607 HTML elements

    The page has 6,607 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 291 KiB

    9 images could be 291 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    342 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (342 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Mailchimp and notify-me.io and others), adding 828 KiB and 266 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 59 KiB

    About 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    129 KiB

    About 129 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.9 s

    11.9 s

    Your largest element takes 11.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 247 ms

    247 ms

    Real visitors wait 247 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 832 ms

    832 ms

    Real visitors wait 832 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 162 ms to 170 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 35 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.5 MB in 478 requests

    5.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 478 requests on a phone: images 3.0 MB (43), other files 1.3 MB (280) and scripts 695 KiB (136). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    9 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example logo_a_c.png at 389 px wide, shown at 120 px. Resized copies would save about 9 KiB.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 185.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8391
  • 3 buttons without a name

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

  • 6 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.

  • 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.

  • 70 links without text

    70 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8575
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “A&C Oslo – A&C Oslo”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“A&C Oslo”, “Starlight” and “Oslo Nomad”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 308 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 308 pages on ac.no and 3 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ac.no/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://ac.no/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,688 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /pages/design-collections-fw, /pages/pure-steel-smykker-i-waterproof-kvalitet, /pages/shop-etter-trend-og-inspirasjon and /pages/kampanjer have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 114 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 32 small tap targets

    32 of 109 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ac.no).

  • Valid certificate (76 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for ac.no and is valid for another 76 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.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ac.no redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ac.no 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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 7 years old

    7 years

    ac.no was registered in May 2019 through Domeneshop AS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    ac.no's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

Content and conversion

6 to fix36
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 170 words

    The homepage has only about 170 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.

1 checks passed
  • 49 short forms

    49 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ac.no is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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 with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:rsgsv.net include:mailchimpapp.net include:_spf.dom…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
