dekoala.be website review

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

About 104 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

2 images could be 62 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 18 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (webhero.be, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 428 KiB and 114 ms of main-thread time.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The layout shifts by 0.194 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 3.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 image (45 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 15.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Your title is only 25 characters: “De Koala vroedvrouwenteam”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 312 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 42 pages on dekoala.be and 5 external pages.

https://www.dekoala.be/teamitems/vroedvrouw-mireille has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.dekoala.be/zwangerschapscursus-in-haacht and https://www.dekoala.be/zwangerschapscursus-in-sint-katelijne-waver use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://www.dekoala.be/de-koala-in-beeld has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.webhero.be/css/flatpickr.min.css' from origin 'https://www.dekoala.be' has bee…”.

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

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

The homepage carries about 300 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
