Speed

12 to fix41
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 60). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,239 HTML elements

    The page has 3,239 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 820 KiB

    89 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (820 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 472 KiB

    About 472 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare CDN, piano and Smart AdServer and others), adding 1.1 MB and 845 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 306 KiB

    3 images could be 306 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 153 KiB

    About 153 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • piano adds 359 ms

    359 ms

    piano costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 718 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.

  • Cloudflare CDN adds 362 ms

    362 ms

    Cloudflare CDN costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 203 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 370 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Forced reflow

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

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 61 ms

    61 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 61 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Your largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Ilija Srdanovic, Anführer der Studentenliste, bejubelt mit …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.6 s

    19.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 708 ms

    708 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 708 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Real-user INP: 119 ms

    119 ms

    Real visitors wait 119 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

  • Real-user FCP: 0.6 s

    0.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 318 ms

    318 ms

    Real visitors wait 318 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 169 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 169 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (85), images 954 KiB (35) and fonts 438 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (39 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.3 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 are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8992
  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (53 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 53 elements on the page fail 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.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 87 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “Nachrichten – DiePresse.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 260 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 260 pages on diepresse.com and 15 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 97 characters

    Your meta description is 97 characters: “Aktuelle Nachrichten aus Österreich und der Welt – News, Analysen und Kommentare von „Die Presse“”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Nachrichten”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.diepresse.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: NewsMediaOrganization.

  • 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://www.diepresse.com/news-sitemap.

AI search readiness

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 2 AI answer engine crawlers

    2 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    39%

    The HTML your server sends has 1,511 of the 3,838 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

1 checks passed
  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 8 pages share a meta description

    /suche, /epaper and /newsletter use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /suche, /epaper and /newsletter have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /player and /panorama took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 193 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5888
  • 25 small tap targets

    25 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://bsky.app/profile/diepressecom.bsky.social (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/edge.

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • security.txt has expired

    Your security.txt expired on 2026-04-23, so researchers may not trust its contact details.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (72 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for diepresse.com and is valid for another 72 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://diepresse.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 64 days

    diepresse.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    diepresse.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

    diepresse.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    diepresse.com was registered in Dec 1998 through RegistryGate GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

4 to fix40
  • 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.

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 3,838 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 3,838 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{v}.%{d}.spf.has.pphosted.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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).
