Speed

11 to fix47
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 380 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (380 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 417 KiB

    About 417 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Optanon and others), adding 896 KiB and 675 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    750 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 750 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 52 KiB

    About 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 312 ms

    312 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.

  • Hubspot adds 261 ms

    261 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 271 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,560 HTML elements

    The page has 1,560 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 66 KiB

    66 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    30 KiB

    2 images could be 30 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 889 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Your largest element takes 6.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “We are happy to announce that we are going to move the MyAD…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.535

    0.535

    The layout shifts by 0.535 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.9 s

    11.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 270 ms

    270 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 270 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Real visitors wait 76 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.06 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 93 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 54% faster for real visitors

    -54%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

Images and page weight

100
  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (190 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB in 96 requests

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 96 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (21), images 677 KiB (55) and fonts 144 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 9195
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    2 dropdowns have no label.

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8580
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("/content/uploads/2016/09/logo.svg")”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 14 links with vague text

    14 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 239 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 239 pages on adam-audio.com and 23 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 138 characters

    Your meta description is 138 characters: “ADAM Audio studio monitors for sound engineers in recording studios, broadcast facilities and for use in home studios a…”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “ADAM Audio - High Precision Studio Monitors from Berlin, Germany”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.adam-audio.com/en/.

  • 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.adam-audio.com/en/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,164 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 81 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • 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 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 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

2 to fix86
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://bsky.app/profile/adam-audio.com (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://adam-audio.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://id.focusritegroup.com/.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (adam-audio.com).

  • Valid certificate (73 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for adam-audio.com and is valid for another 73 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://adam-audio.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    adam-audio.com 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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    adam-audio.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 25 years old

    25 years

    adam-audio.com was registered in Mar 2001 through Nom-iq Ltd. dba COM LAUDE. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    adam-audio.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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 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 1,238 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,238 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Try our product selector” and “Buy now”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and TikTok Pixel.

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:servers.mcsv.net include:2258689.spf01.hubspotemail.net include:sendgrid.net include:mail.zendesk.com in…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
