ascoo.be website review

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

About 503 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 530 ms faster on a phone.

Google CDN costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 915 KiB and 473 ms of main-thread time.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

1 image could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

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 0.45 g of CO₂e: 53.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 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 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.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

The homepage links to 61 pages on ascoo.be and 4 external pages.

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 /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.

/onze-oplossingen/it-uitbesteden and /onze-oplossingen/zorgeloos-it-beheer all use the title “IT uitbesteden? Kies voor zekerheid en continuïteit met Ascoo”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/send-files and /support have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/onze-oplossingen/it-uitbesteden and /onze-oplossingen/zorgeloos-it-beheer use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /onze-oplossingen/zorgeloos-it-beheer, whose canonical is /onze-oplossingen/it-uitbesteden. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/send-files and /support have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

/onze-oplossingen/api-koppelingen-en-procesautomatisaties, /over-ons, /onze-oplossingen/zorgeloos-it-beheer and /onze-oplossingen/veilige-it-omgeving took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

ascoo.be has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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

The homepage carries about 683 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
