alpine.nl does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7,567 HTML elements
The page has 7,567 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 737 KiBAbout 737 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Convert Insights and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 220 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (220 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 208 ms
208 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 208 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.
Klaviyo adds 171 ms
171 msKlaviyo costs a phone 171 ms of main-thread work and 421 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 134 ms
134 msShopify costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 376 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 186 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
83 KiB6 images could be 83 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.4 MB in 330 requests
13.4 MBYour homepage downloads 13.4 MB in 330 requests on a phone: media 8.4 MB (5), scripts 1.8 MB (104) and images 1.4 MB (82). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Sleep_Deep__SocialProof_lifestyle_Phone.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (62 KiB) is 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.
About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit
3.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.79 g of CO₂e: 454.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
22 images without alt text
22 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
