Speed

7 to fix75
  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 396 KiB

    4 images could be 396 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics CMP and Google/Doubleclick Ads), adding 600 KiB and 520 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 224 KiB

    About 224 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 271 ms

    271 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 335 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.

  • 1,571 HTML elements

    The page has 1,571 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 35 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    About 22 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 171 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 766 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Your largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “K37ID”. Most of its time is resource load delay (1.8 s).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors wait 127 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 163 ms

    163 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 163 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.02

    0.02

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.02, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 114 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 114 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (77), scripts 659 KiB (19) and fonts 63 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    csm_CHERRY_frontweb-Smart_Board_1150_1920x1920_2_a9d8744275. is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    50 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example img-award-reddot-2022.svg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 50 KiB.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.64 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.64 g of CO₂e: 76.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9395
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 14 links without text

    14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 81 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Meta description is long (182 characters)

    Your meta description is 182 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 208 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 208 pages on cherry.de and 14 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Gemacht für harte Jobs. Überzeugend im Preis.”.

  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “CHERRY | Willkommen in der Welt von CHERRY - Cherry”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cherry.de/de-de/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://www.cherry.de/en-gb/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,013 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /de-de/produkte/tastaturen/office-tastaturen, /de-de/produkte/maeuse/kabellose-maeuse, /de-de/produkte/maeuse/kabelgebundene-maeuse and /de-de/produkte/desktop-sets took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 125 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 4 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    54 of 55 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 3 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://cherry.de goes through 3 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://shop.cherry.de/de-de.

  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (cherry.de).

  • Valid certificate (45 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for cherry.de and is valid for another 45 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://cherry.de redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 28 did not answer within 5 s.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cherry.de 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

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 442 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 442 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Online-Shop (EU)”, “Download Center” and “CHERRY Shop EU”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 ip4:185.88.215.20 ip6:2a00:f48:1008::215:20:10 include:mail-io.maxcluster.net include:spf.protection.outlook.com…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
