Speed

10 to fix60
  • Main-thread work: 6.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.2 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (piwik.pro, consentmanager.net and cleverpush.com and others), adding 683 KiB and 545 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 200 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • piwik.pro adds 313 ms

    313 ms

    piwik.pro costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 160 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    253 KiB

    About 253 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2,450 HTML elements

    The page has 2,450 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • cleverpush.com adds 80 ms

    80 ms

    cleverpush.com costs a phone 80 ms of main-thread work and 391 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

    160 KiB

    8 images could be 160 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 109 ms

    109 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 109 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.9 s

    20.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 271 ms

    271 ms

    Real visitors wait 271 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “ADAC Projektleider Andreas Ratzek zwischen Kindersitzen”.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 270 ms to 275 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors wait 0.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 286 ms

    286 ms

    Real visitors wait 286 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 188 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 188 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (124), images 495 KiB (32) and fonts 428 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.91 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 109.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10097
  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10086
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 335 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 335 pages on adac.de and 13 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Der ADAC bietet Informationen rund um Mobilität, Verkehr, Automobil, Reise, Gesundheit sowie ADAC-Versicherungen und ne…”.

  • Title: 42 characters

    Your title is a healthy 42 characters: “ADAC: Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.adac.de/.

  • 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://www.adac.de/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,184 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /tags/spritsparen is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /produkte/finanzdienstleistungen/kreditkarte/ueberblick, whose canonical is /produkte/finanzdienstleistungen/kreditkarte. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /mitgliedschaft/mitgliedschaft-aendern has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 194 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 92100
  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    25 of 29 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

9 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (adac.de).

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign RSA OV SSL CA 2018 verifies for adac.de and is valid for another 80 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://adac.de redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    adac.de 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.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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 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.

  • 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 706 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 706 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Shop”.

  • 2 short forms

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

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:c4yxa.s.dmarcdutydns.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (consentmanager) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: consentmanager

    A consent management tool (consentmanager) loads with the page.
