dewaterbus.be website review

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (251 KiB).

About 175 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

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

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Shopify and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 408 KiB and 232 ms of main-thread time.

About 15 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 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

3 images could be 133 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

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

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 10.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Your title is only 10 characters: “DeWaterbus”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is only 10 characters: “DeWaterbus”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

The homepage links to 32 pages on dewaterbus.be and 6 external pages.

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.

/pages/traject, /pages/dienstregeling, /pages/faq, /pages/contact and /blogs/news use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/products/ticket-enkel-basis and /products/abonnement have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/pages/traject, /pages/dienstregeling, /pages/tarieven and /pages/contact have 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 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://dewaterbus.be/cdn/shop/t/4/assets/t4s-button-style.css?v=1721' because its MIME ty…”.

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

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

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

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

dewaterbus.be 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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 338 words of visible text.

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

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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