congstar.de does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
8.2 sThe page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 8.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 726 KiBAbout 726 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 724 KiB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (724 KiB).
Kameleoon adds 265 ms
265 msKameleoon costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 249 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Usercentrics CMP adds 168 ms
168 msUsercentrics CMP costs a phone 168 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Kameleoon, Usercentrics CMP and Adform and others), adding 929 KiB and 460 ms of main-thread time.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 184 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
42 KiB42 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
