aldi.nl does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

9 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 370 KiB

    About 370 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 704 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (704 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 647 KiB

    18 images could be 647 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, Adobe Tag Manager and googleusercontent.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 340 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 39 KiB

    About 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Adobe Scene7 adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Adobe Scene7 costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 768 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    250 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    105 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 47 ms

    47 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 47 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.31

    0.31

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.31 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.2 s

    11.2 s

    Your largest element takes 11.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Wij (Aldi Holding B.V.) gebruiken cookies (waaronder soortg…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% slower for real visitors

    +30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 315 ms

    315 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 315 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 151 ms

    151 ms

    Real visitors wait 151 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 423 ms

    423 ms

    Real visitors wait 423 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 94 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 94 requests on a phone: scripts 936 KiB (48), images 785 KiB (22) and HTML 165 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 71.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8091
  • Images must have alternative text (13 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 13 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.

  • 12 tap targets too small

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 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 9274
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “ALDI | Fans van voordeel”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • 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 incomplete here.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

    Your meta description is 134 characters: “Ben jij ook zo'n fan van voordeel? Wij ook! Bekijk onze weekaanbiedingen en bezoek één van onze 500+ winkels. Fans van …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.aldi.nl/.

  • 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.nl/.aldi-nord-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 420 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Component content is missing”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    41 of 46 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.nl).

  • Valid certificate (51 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for aldi.nl and is valid for another 51 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.nl 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.nl 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

    aldi.nl'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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    aldi.nl was registered in Oct 1996 through Arvato Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

5 to fix20
  • 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 420 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 420 words of visible text.

Email authentication

90
  • 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 ip4:18.196.215.67 ip4:20.40.137.116/30 ip4:20.40.137.120/29 ip4:20.61.145.119 ip4:20.224.168.48 ip4:46.183.45.19…”.

  • 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).
