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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8.9 s · 18.8 MB84 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18.8 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Improve image delivery
12.6 MB12 images could be 12.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 67). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Font display
650 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 650 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 193 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Cloudflare), adding 10 KiB and 9 ms of main-thread time.
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, 514 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 108 ms
108 msYour server sent the HTML in 108 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.0 s
14.0 sYour largest element takes 14.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “AUDES Group customised uniforms: a union of design and high…”.
Time to Interactive: 14.2 s
14.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.3 s
7.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 108 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 27.7 MB in 86 requests
27.7 MBYour homepage downloads 27.7 MB in 86 requests on a phone: images 27.2 MB (35), scripts 251 KiB (22) and stylesheets 166 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 3.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
14 images in older formats
14 images (5.5 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.
4 images far larger than shown
269 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 45001-2018-1.png at 1,000 px wide, shown at 79 px. Resized copies would save about 269 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (332 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 7.9 g of CO₂ per visit
7.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.86 g of CO₂e: 943.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings should not be empty (6 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (21 characters)
Your title is only 21 characters: “Homepage_2026 - AUDES”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
63 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 63 pages on audes.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://audes.com/en/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://audes.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,295 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages share 3 titles
/en and / all use the title “Homepage_2026 - AUDES”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
7 pages without a meta description
/brand-activation, /en/awards-2, /en/news-english, /en/services, /en/collaborations and /en/contacts and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/en/branded-merchandise-en and /en/branded-merchandise-2 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is /en. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
3 pages without an H1
/en/news-english, /en/contacts and / have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/en/branded-merchandise-en took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
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
2 small tap targets
2 of 10 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.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://audes.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (audes.com).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for audes.com and is valid for another 68 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://audes.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
audes.com 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.
DNSSEC is off
audes.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 15 years old
15 yearsaudes.com was registered in Feb 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2027
audes.com is registered until Feb 2027.
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
About 520 words of copy
The homepage carries about 520 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “CONTACT US” and “subscribe”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be audes.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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 ip4:77.39.209.194 ip4:89.46.225.163 ip4:89.46.228.41 ip4:89.46.228.112 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.smtp2…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k2” and “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
1 other company contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
