Speed
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 50). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and epoq internet services and others), adding 2.9 MB and 800 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 356 KiB13 images could be 356 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Google CDN adds 470 ms
470 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 470 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 152 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (152 KiB).
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 358 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Azure Web Services adds 0 ms
0 msAzure Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 845 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.74
0.74For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.74 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 28.3 s
28.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 12.1 s
12.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sYour largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “15% Rabatt auf alle Spiele”.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 296 ms
296 msReal visitors wait 296 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 206 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.061
0.061The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.061, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 151 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 151 requests on a phone: scripts 3.1 MB (60), other files 1.1 MB (35) and images 1.0 MB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (381 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (95 KiB) 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 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 189.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
17 text elements with low contrast
17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
15 tap targets too small
15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (38 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
16 form fields without a label
16 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
97 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 97 pages on exlibris.ch and 8 external pages.

AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (928 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (17 KiB, 101 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/de/neues-konto has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/de/erweiterte-suche is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
/de/firmenkundschaft, /de/erweiterte-suche and /de/neues-konto have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
/de/kontakt-hilfe/anschrift-kontaktformular, /de/geschenkkarte-gutscheine, /de/erweiterte-suche and /de/neues-konto have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
