Speed

8 to fix43
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    8.2 s

    The 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 KiB

    About 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 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your 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 KiB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (724 KiB).

  • Kameleoon adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    Kameleoon 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 ms

    Usercentrics 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 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    42 KiB

    42 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    37 KiB

    About 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

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Total Blocking Time: 345 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 345 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 133 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 133 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (76), fonts 253 KiB (11) and other files 160 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10096
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (38 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 5882
  • Blocked from indexing

    Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

  • 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.

  • 174 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 174 pages on congstar.de and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 130 characters

    Your meta description is 130 characters: “Mehr fair für dich: ✔ Handytarife ✔ Prepaid ✔ DSL & Glasfaser im besten D-Netz ✔ Mit GB+ jedes Jahr automatisch mehr Da…”.

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 (912 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 5 pages slow to respond

    /handytarife, /handytarife/smartphone-tarife-im-vergleich, /handytarife/allnet-flat-tarife/allnet-flat-l, /handytarife/allnet-flat-tarife/allnet-flat-m and /handytarife/allnet-flat-tarife/allnet-flat-s took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    23 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 356 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • http:// redirects to https

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

Content and conversion

4 to fix40
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 390 words of copy

1 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “congstar Shop”.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be congstar.de is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

  • DKIM signing found

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

    3
