bitfactory.nl does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
11.4 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.4 s faster on a phone.
Vimeo adds 1.4 s
1.4 sVimeo costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 18.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. 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
1.4 s · 541 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (541 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Main-thread work: 12.2 s
A phone's processor spends 12.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Vimeo, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 19.0 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 785 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 327 ms
327 msFacebook costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.
1,787 HTML elements
The page has 1,787 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 319 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 · 34 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 28 KiBAbout 28 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.
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.

Server response: 93 ms
93 msYour server sent the HTML in 93 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 23.5 s
23.5 sYour largest element takes 23.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Om de beste ervaringen te bieden, gebruiken wij technologie…”.
Time to Interactive: 28.8 s
28.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 14.6 s
14.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.4 s
2.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
24 images without width and height
24 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.074
0.074The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.074, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 20.5 MB in 143 requests
20.5 MBYour homepage downloads 20.5 MB in 143 requests on a phone: other files 15.7 MB (41), scripts 2.9 MB (34) and fonts 880 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit
5.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.82 g of CO₂e: 698.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
