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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix66
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Main-thread work: 9.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 MB

    13 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 403 KiB

    About 403 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and Klarna and others), adding 1.0 MB and 664 ms of main-thread time.

  • Klaviyo adds 190 ms

    190 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 345 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.

  • 1,925 HTML elements

    The page has 1,925 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 173 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (173 KiB).

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 50 KiB

    50 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 34 KiB

    About 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 113 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Your largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.3 s

    15.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 185 ms to 196 ms 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: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 183 ms

    183 ms

    Real visitors wait 183 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 674 ms

    674 ms

    Real visitors wait 674 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 144 ms

    144 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 144 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.3 MB in 426 requests

    5.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 426 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (24), other files 1.4 MB (251) and scripts 1.2 MB (105). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 images (1.3 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.49 g of CO₂e: 179.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 9191
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • <marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used (1 element)

    <marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.

  • 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.

  • 16 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (6 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 84 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10080
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (29 characters)

    Your title is only 29 characters: “Cycling Apparel | Cycology EU”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 214 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 214 pages on cycologygear.de and 8 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 136 characters

    Your meta description is 136 characters: “Men and women's cycling jerseys, bib shorts, socks, gloves and more. Original artist designs. Free shipping over €99 an…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cycologygear.eu/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://www.cycologygear.eu/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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 sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (927 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

5 to fix63
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect and /pages/help-centre 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 /collections/bundle-2-for-170-classic-jerseys, whose canonical is /collections/bundle-2-for-175-classic-jerseys. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /customer_authentication/redirect and /pages/cycology-bundles have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/bundle-2-for-170-classic-jerseys, /pages/reviews and /collections/mens-long-sleeve-jerseys took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 78 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 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.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 3 broken images

    3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=26191578&Ver=2&mid=b1875383-6312-459d-9bbd-8134105a6934&bo=1&sid=73c74c80db3011f18427dda9adf8d4fc&vid=73c77370db3011f1947f07e18cfd5b4e&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.

  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 53 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.cycologygear.eu/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=DE.

  • 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 (cycologygear.eu).

  • Valid certificate (50 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for cycologygear.de and is valid for another 50 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://cycologygear.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 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for cycologygear.eu, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

4 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: “13,000+ Reviews”. 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 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 377 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 377 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop now” and “NEW SANTE FE SHOP NOW”.

  • 24 calls to action

    The homepage has 24 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Shop All” and “Shop now”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    cycologygear.de has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    cycologygear.de has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Domain receives no email

    cycologygear.de has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 mores (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.

  • 32 cookies set on arrival

    32

    Opening the homepage sets 32 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.

  • 46 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 46 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 13 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

Blotout Edgetag · Avada Seo Suite · Sc Easy Redirects · Okendo · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Weglot Translate Your Store · Triplewhale · Gorgias Live Chat Helpdesk · Whatmorelive · Orbe Geolocation · cloudfront.net · giftcardpro.app · amazonaws.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
