Speed

8 to fix62
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 530 KiB

    About 530 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 MB

    23 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 88 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (88 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, runconverge.com and Cookie-Script.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 563 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 280 ms

    280 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 643 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.

  • 1,975 HTML elements

    The page has 1,975 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 135 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 947 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 42 ms

    42 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    Your largest element takes 14.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 22 images without width and height

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

  • 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: 178 ms

    178 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 178 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

4 to fix31
  • Page weight: 4.3 MB in 261 requests

    4.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 261 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (26), scripts 1.4 MB (59) and other files 1.0 MB (166). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 20 images far larger than shown

    1.8 MB

    20 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example [email protected] at 760 px wide, shown at 197 px. Resized copies would save about 1.8 MB.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (4.2 MB) are 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    summer_sale_hero_slider_UK_mobile.webp 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 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 144.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8693
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 15 text elements with low contrast

    15 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 (11 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 7784
  • No meta description

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

  • No structured data

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 163 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 163 pages on alphafoods.nl and 8 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Plantaardige elixers,superfood mixenen vegan proteine poeder”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Alpha Foods Nederland | Alpha Foods”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://alphafoods.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://alphafoods.nl/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (1,465 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://alphafoods.nl/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix83
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://alphafoods.nl/products, https://alphafoods.nl/blogs/news, https://alphafoods.nl/pages/contact and https://alphafoods.nl/pages/wishlist have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://alphafoods.nl/products/vegan-muscle-vanilla and https://alphafoods.nl/products/vegan-muscle-chocolate use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://alphafoods.nl/products, whose canonical is https://alphafoods.nl/collections. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://alphafoods.nl/products and https://alphafoods.nl/blogs/news have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 74 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 13 small tap targets

    13 of 44 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 fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 403 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 403 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NU”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Shop Nu” and “Shop nu”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 alphafoods.nl, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
