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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

14 to fix52
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.0 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 424 KiB

    61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (424 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 639 KiB

    About 639 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 59). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 227 KiB

    About 227 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    700 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 700 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 275 KiB

    7 images could be 275 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.

  • ZenDesk adds 370 ms

    370 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 370 ms of main-thread work and 476 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 302 ms

    302 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 350 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: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,640 HTML elements

    The page has 1,640 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • vega.company adds 103 ms

    103 ms

    vega.company costs a phone 103 ms of main-thread work and 386 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.

  • imagekit.io adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    imagekit.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 563 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 129 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 108 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.9 s

    18.9 s

    Your largest element takes 18.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “(AI generated image)”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

  • Total Blocking Time: 230 ms

    230 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 230 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 108 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 22% faster for real visitors

    -22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.027

    0.027

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.027, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 226 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 226 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (101), fonts 1.4 MB (15) and images 585 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (169 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.11 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.11 g of CO₂e: 133.8 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

6 to fixGoogle 8693
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 152 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 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: 53 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • No social preview image

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 149 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 149 pages on etc.at and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 115 characters

    Your meta description is 115 characters: “IT-Kurse, Schulungen & Zertifizierungen bei ETC ➔ In Wien & Online ✓Microsoft ✓ITIL ✓CCNA ✓Cisco ✓Red Hat ✓IBM ✓HPE”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Ihre IT-Karriere auf Erfolgskurs – mit ETC”.

  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “ETC • IT-Kurse, Schulungen & Zertifizierungen”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.etc.at/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, WebPage 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.etc.at/sitemap_index.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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (850 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (195 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix63
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /trainings/it-management/itil, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /aktuelles and /warenkorb have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 89 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 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”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://at.linkedin.com/company/etc---enterprise-training-center (999).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.etc.at/trainings/it-management/itil/.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (etc.at).

  • Valid certificate (71 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for etc.at and is valid for another 71 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://etc.at 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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    etc.at 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.

Content and conversion

2 to fix60
  • 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.

  • 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 519 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 519 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks and 6 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be etc.at is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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:send.klaviyo.com include:klaviyo-mail.com include:sendgrid.net include:spf.protection.outlook.com a:post…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

    A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.
