Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 455 KiBAbout 455 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and storyblok.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 378 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
496 KiB4 images could be 496 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 332 ms
332 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 332 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
332 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (332 KiB).
2,194 HTML elements
The page has 2,194 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
storyblok.com adds 0 ms
0 msstoryblok.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 499 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
150 ms · 14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 783 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 19 ms
19 msYour server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s
12.2 sYour largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to optimise your experience on our website, …”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s
4.9 sThe first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 13.3 s
13.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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: 146 ms
146 msScripts block the page for only 146 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 54 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 54 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (25), images 816 KiB (10) and stylesheets 89 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
110 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example thumbnail at 1,920 px wide, shown at 356 px. Resized copies would save about 110 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (296 KiB) 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (159 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (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 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 80 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 274 pages on apteco.com and 13 external pages.

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.

Content and conversion
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 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 697 words of copy
The homepage carries about 697 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be apteco.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com include:amazonses.com include:spf.zoho.eu include:spf.zoho.com include:eu.transmail.net …”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
