brabowood.nl website review

10 images could be 350 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.

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

The page has 1,606 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and shop.app and others), adding 466 KiB and 155 ms of main-thread time.

About 26 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 23 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).

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

Your largest element takes 11.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Alles voor de vakman. Meld je aan en ontvang direct jouw za…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 244 requests on a phone: other files 909 KiB (142), images 857 KiB (16) and scripts 620 KiB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image further down the page (36 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

The homepage links to 120 pages on brabowood.nl and 4 external pages.

There is no https://brabowood.nl/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.

https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-balken, https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-regels, https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-schoren, https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-zweeds-rabat, https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-vlonderplanken and https://brabowood.nl/collections/douglas-hout-schaaldelen and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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 677 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.

Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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