alex-theory.com website review

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, iubenda and Shopify and others), adding 481 KiB and 195 ms of main-thread time.

About 51 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

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

Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 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: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

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

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

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

Your title is only 19 characters: “— AlexTheory Europe”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No XML sitemap at https://alex-theory.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

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.

There is no https://alex-theory.com/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 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'options')”.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 172 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

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

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

Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
