One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

7 to fix77
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 1.3 MB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    695 KiB

    8 images could be 695 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 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

    300 ms · 61 KiB

    About 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1,877 HTML elements

    The page has 1,877 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 84 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 211 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 209 ms

    209 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 209 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Your largest element takes 5.4 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: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

    7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 146 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 163 ms

    163 ms

    Real visitors wait 163 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 518 ms

    518 ms

    Real visitors wait 518 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 34 ms

    34 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 34 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix50
  • Page weight: 13.0 MB in 40 requests

    13.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.0 MB in 40 requests on a phone: media 11.7 MB (2), images 813 KiB (21) and scripts 260 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    545 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example czM6Ly9jb3Jla2l0ZXMtbmVvcy9uZW9zL3Jlc291cmNlcy9wZXJzaXN0ZW50 at 5,614 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 545 KiB.

  • About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.67 g of CO₂e: 440.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8891
  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 4 images without alt text

    4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 15 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9295
  • Meta description is short (47 characters)

    Your meta description is only 47 characters: “CORE - Performance Kite und Wing Gear seit 2001”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 251 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 251 pages on corekites.com and 17 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “CORE WATERSPORTS”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “CORE - Performance Kite and Wing Gear since 2001”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ridecore.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://ridecore.com/mul/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 (967 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /de/kontakt, /de/impressum, /de/datenschutz and /de/agb have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /social, whose canonical is /de/social. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /de/kontakt and /de/carved/boards/imperator-7-limited-edition have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 96 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 41 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ridecore.com).

  • Valid certificate (76 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for corekites.com and is valid for another 76 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://corekites.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ridecore.com 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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    ridecore.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 15 years old

    15 years

    ridecore.com was registered in Feb 2011 through Hetzner Online GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    ridecore.com is registered until Feb 2027.

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 449 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 449 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Try & Buy”, “Demo Tour” and “Sign Up”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Meta Pixel.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be corekites.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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 include:spf-de.emailsignatures365.com -all include:servers.mcsv.net incl…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (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.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
