Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s6 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 MB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
695 KiB8 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 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 msWeb 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 209 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s
5.4 sYour 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.5 s
5.5 sThe 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).

Total Blocking Time: 34 ms
34 msScripts block the page for only 34 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.0 MB in 40 requests
13.0 MBYour 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 KiB2 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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
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
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 yearsridecore.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
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
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
2Opening 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.
