Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
4,005 HTML elements
The page has 4,005 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 313 KiB6 images could be 313 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 330 KiBAbout 330 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 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, 781 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ZenDesk adds 168 ms
168 msZenDesk costs a phone 168 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.
Shopify adds 66 ms
66 msShopify costs a phone 66 ms of main-thread work and 531 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, Shopify and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1,012 KiB and 253 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 17 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

8.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.62 g of CO₂e: 1034.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Hidden but focusable
9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 tap targets too small

46 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: 46 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

3 pages without a meta description
https://allbirds.de/collections/slides-fur-herren, https://allbirds.de/collections/terralux-herren and https://allbirds.de/collections/varsity-fur-herren have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://allbirds.de/collections/einlegensohlen/Herren, whose canonical is https://allbirds.de/collections/einlegensohlen/herren.
