adac.de does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
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
60/100Your 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 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
400 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
piwik.pro adds 313 ms
313 mspiwik.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 KiBAbout 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 mscleverpush.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 KiB8 images could be 160 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 188 requests
3.2 MBYour 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 gBy 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.

SEO
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
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
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.

Best practices
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

Security and trust
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
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
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
2Before 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
11Opening 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.
