Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 567 KiBAbout 567 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.4 s · 657 KiB8 images could be 657 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 415 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, Trust Pilot and datadoghq-browser-agent.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 229 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Cloudinary adds 0 ms
0 msCloudinary costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 652 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
94 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (94 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 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.

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: 13.0 s
13.0 sYour largest element takes 13.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “FINN Auto Abo”.
Time to Interactive: 14.7 s
14.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.3 s
9.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 868 ms
868 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 868 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 387 ms
387 msReal visitors wait 387 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 30% slower for real visitors
+30%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 347 ms to 419 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
3acfe380-cbc3-11f1-9c9f-5f45175b69bf-Opt-3-mobile-4.jpg weighs 506 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 160 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 160 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (70), images 873 KiB (41) and other files 217 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (506 KiB) is 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (243 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.8 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
All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
26 links without text
26 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 84 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
168 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 168 pages on finn.com and 16 external pages.
8 checks passed

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.finn.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,052 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
/de-DE/subscribe/deals and /de-DE/b2b-small are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/de-DE/b2b and /de-DE/b2b-small all use the title “Auto Abo Gewerbe: Firmenflotte flexibel skalieren | FINN”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages share a meta description
/de-DE/subscribe and /de-DE/subscribe/14-days use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

finn.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.

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
