circulon.de does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and others), adding 8.0 MB and 482 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Shopify adds 15 ms
15 msShopify costs a phone 15 ms of main-thread work and 7.1 MB 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 395 KiBAbout 395 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.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 80 KiBAbout 80 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 983 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 172 ms
172 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 172 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
1,710 HTML elements
The page has 1,710 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 249 KiB3 images could be 249 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
68 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 36 ms

Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.514
0.514The layout shifts by 0.514 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 10.0 s
10.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s
4.1 sYour largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.5 MB in 196 requests
11.5 MBYour homepage downloads 11.5 MB in 196 requests on a phone: media 8.7 MB (1), scripts 1.4 MB (92) and other files 651 KiB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
MicrosoftTeams-image_1980x660_crop_center.jpg 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
152 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example MicrosoftTeams-image_1980x660_crop_center.jpg at 1,980 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 152 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (108 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit
3.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.25 g of CO₂e: 389.8 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
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
22 links without text
22 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Warenkorb” and “Circulon Kochgeschirr”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (209 characters)
Your meta description is 209 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Corporation and Website) but with 2 problems, for example “ld+json block 3 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
133 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 133 pages on circulon.de and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (955 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://circulon.de/checkout.
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 (circulon.de).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for circulon.de and is valid for another 47 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://circulon.de 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 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
circulon.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
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.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,258 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,258 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
4 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “SHOP STEELSHIELD™”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 26 testimonial or review blocks, 3 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Hotjar.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be circulon.de is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
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”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
28 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
Apps your storefront loads
