Speed

7 to fix66
  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    780 ms · 162 KiB

    About 162 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 780 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 160 KiB

    About 160 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 135 KiB

    6 images could be 135 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    550 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 550 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cookiebot.eu and Google Analytics), adding 429 KiB and 268 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    15 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 15 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 324 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

4 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Your largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Elke ondernemer is graag goed verzekerd, weinigen willen er…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 65 ms

    65 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 65 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 38 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 38 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (16), fonts 1.4 MB (7) and scripts 517 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (372 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (122 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.06 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 127.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9495
  • 20 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9283
  • No meta description

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

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 36 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 36 pages on add.be and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Elke ondernemer is graag goed verzekerd, weinigen willen er echt mee bezig zijn.”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Homepagina | ADD Verzekeringen”.

  • 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://www.add.be/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.add.be/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 (656 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.add.be/nl/solutions and https://www.add.be/nl/contact 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 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 14 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.

Content and conversion

2 to fix67
  • 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 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 756 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 756 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

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

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at add.be, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
