aldi.es does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 462 KiBAbout 462 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 381 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (381 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, Google Tag Manager and Adobe Tag Manager and others), adding 1.4 MB and 357 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
an-pcm.com adds 0 ms
0 msan-pcm.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 787 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 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
95 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
45 KiB4 images could be 45 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 42. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 61 ms
61 msYour server sent the HTML in 61 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.32
0.32For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.32 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s
10.2 sYour largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “SOMOS EL SÚPER QUE MÁS BAJA LOS PRECIOS DE LOS FRESCOS”.
Time to Interactive: 12.8 s

3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.274
0.274The layout shifts by 0.274 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 92 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 92 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (48), images 842 KiB (21) and fonts 162 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
w43-2026-stage-theme-mobile-special-1440x1080.png 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).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Images must have alternative text (9 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (2 elements)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
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.
Meta description is long (162 characters)
Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
5 checks passed
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Supermercados ALDI: Calidad al mejor precio”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.aldi.es/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.aldi.es/.aldi-nord-sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 877 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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.
1 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.
Best practices
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
51 of 53 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (aldi.es).
Valid certificate (176 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for aldi.es and is valid for another 176 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://aldi.es 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
aldi.es 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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 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.
About 877 words of copy
The homepage carries about 877 words of visible text.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 ip4:167.89.75.22 ip4:20.40.137.116/30 ip4:20.40.137.120/29 ip4:20.61.145.119 ip4:20.224.168.48 ip4:46.183.45.192…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
2 checks passed
Consent tool: Usercentrics
A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
