bcf.ch does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.6 s · 679 KiBAbout 679 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused JavaScript
930 ms · 292 KiBAbout 292 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 930 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 486 KiB7 images could be 486 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 162 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (162 KiB).
Font display
500 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Document request latency
371 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 286 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP), adding 191 KiB and 189 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, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 477 ms
477 msYour server sent the HTML in 477 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.1 s
13.1 sYour largest element takes 13.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
First Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sThe first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 18.5 s
18.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.4 s
9.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.19
0.19For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.19 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.156
0.156The layout shifts by 0.156 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 163 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 100 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 100 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (69), images 941 KiB (14) and HTML 555 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (133 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.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (47 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 47 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 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.
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
4 links crawlers can't follow
4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
260 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 260 pages on bcf.ch and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “BCF”.
Title: 63 characters
Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “BCF – La banque de proximité des fribourgeoises et fribourgeois”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.bcf.ch/fr.
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://www.bcf.ch/fr-sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
2 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 (950 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/fr and /fr/prives all use the title “BCF – La banque de proximité des fribourgeoises et fribourgeois”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 126 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
22 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (bcf.ch).
Valid certificate (123 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert EV RSA CA G2 verifies for bcf.ch and is valid for another 123 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://bcf.ch redirects to the secure version.
All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
bcf.ch 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.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 236 words
The homepage has only about 236 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Aide | Contact”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Aide | Contact”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be bcf.ch is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.swisscom.com include:_spf-dc2.successfactors.com include:_spf-dc12.successfactors.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
2 checks passed
Consent tool: Usercentrics
A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.
No known trackers before consent
