Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.5 s · 284 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (284 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 341 KiBAbout 341 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 518 KiB13 images could be 518 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (posthog.com, Affirm and Klaviyo and others), adding 850 KiB and 725 ms of main-thread time.
posthog.com adds 399 ms
399 msposthog.com costs a phone 399 ms of main-thread work and 254 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.
2,849 HTML elements
The page has 2,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 66 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 66 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 44 KiB44 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 17 KiBAbout 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
18 KiB18 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 186 requests on a phone: scripts 964 KiB (70), images 795 KiB (26) and other files 649 KiB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
502 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 502 pages on bigerics.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.bigerics.com/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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,743 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/policies/shipping-policy, /collections/gift-cards, /policies/privacy-policy and /collections/serve have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (bigerics.com).
Valid certificate (34 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bigerics.com and is valid for another 34 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://bigerics.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.
All 48 links work

Domain and trust
Domain expires in 16 days
bigerics.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.
DNSSEC is off
bigerics.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 26 years old
26 yearsbigerics.com was registered in Nov 1999 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only pki.goog, ssl.com, digicert.com and globalsign.com to issue certificates for bigerics.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 439 words of copy
The homepage carries about 439 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

26 cookies set on arrival
26Opening the homepage sets 26 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
