Speed
Render-blocking requests
8.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 8.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 355 KiBAbout 355 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 581 KiB63 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (581 KiB).
Improve image delivery
704 KiB4 images could be 704 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,638 HTML elements
The page has 2,638 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Cookiebot adds 109 ms
109 msCookiebot costs a phone 109 ms of main-thread work and 480 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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Cookiebot), adding 480 KiB and 109 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.3 s

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.6 s
8.6 sThe first text or image appears after 8.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.7 s
12.7 sYour largest element takes 12.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Pannenhelfer im Einsatz”.

Time to Interactive: 12.9 s
12.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
21 images without width and height
21 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.111
0.111The layout shifts by 0.111 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.5 MB in 162 requests
8.5 MBYour homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 162 requests on a phone: fonts 4.4 MB (32), images 2.1 MB (53) and scripts 1.2 MB (45). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
herbst2026-landingpage-pannenhelfer-02-wochenpreis-1920x827. is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images far larger than shown
194 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example herbst2026-landingpage-pannenhelfer-02-wochenpreis-1920x827. at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 194 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (86 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.40 g of CO₂e: 287.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
5 buttons without a name
5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
8 tap targets too small
8 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.
Positive tabindex
4 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (30 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 form field without a label

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 14 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (171 characters)
Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
263 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 263 pages on ace.de and 14 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Kann passieren. Regeln wir.”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.ace.de/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 /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 (1,605 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
/kontakt has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Valid certificate (71 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for ace.de and is valid for another 71 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://ace.de redirects to the secure version.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.

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.

SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a mx a:mail.ace.de ip4:87.234.225.28 ip4:194.6.209.211 ip4:194.6.209.71 ip4:194.6.209.173 ip4:82.97.144.10 ip4:2…”.
