Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17.6 s · 4.7 MB49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
10.8 s · 3.3 MB28 images could be 3.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.8 s faster on a phone.
Font display
3.0 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 22 KiBAbout 22 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Matomo and axept.io), adding 45 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 259 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 103 ms
103 msYour server sent the HTML in 103 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 25.6 s
25.6 sYour largest element takes 25.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “France à vélo Découvrez la FFC, ses disciplines, ses actual…”.
Time to Interactive: 26.1 s
26.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
30 images without width and height
30 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
7 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 136 ms
136 msReal visitors wait 136 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 1.7 s
1.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 14% faster for real visitors
-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 133 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 132 ms
132 msScripts block the page for only 132 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB in 51 requests
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 51 requests on a phone: images 3.9 MB (35), scripts 440 KiB (7) and fonts 439 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example site_ffc_vtt.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
1 image over 500 KB
site_ffc_vtt.jpg weighs 978 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
15 images below the first screen load straight away
15 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
10 images in older formats
10 images (2.0 MB) 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 163.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn'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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 33 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 1 internal link
The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “Découvrir la FFC, les disciplines du cyclisme, le calendrier des épreuves, les résultats, les classements, le vélo lois…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “France à vélo”.
Title: 32 characters
Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “Fédération Française de Cyclisme”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ffc.fr/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: 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://ffc.fr/sitemaps.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
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.
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.
1 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.
Best practices
3 small tap targets
3 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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: 27 customer or partner logos. 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.
Only about 135 words
The homepage has only about 135 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Matomo.
Privacy and tracking
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 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).
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ffc.fr, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
