fti.de does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.8 s · 968 KiB4 images could be 968 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 983 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (983 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.2 s
1.2 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and DemandBase and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 169 KiBAbout 169 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
665 KiBAbout 665 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 387 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Optanon adds 352 ms
352 msOptanon costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 215 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 19 ms
19 msYour server sent the HTML in 19 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.
Time to Interactive: 21.6 s
21.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s
5.4 sYour largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero image”.
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.
Largest content (LCP) got 46% slower for real visitors
+46%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.1 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images 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 148 ms to 142 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 91 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (30), images 1.7 MB (19) and stylesheets 191 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
236 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example germany-hp-hero-still.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 408 px. Resized copies would save about 236 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (397 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.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.06 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 127.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (75 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 75 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
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 (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (570 characters)
Your meta description is 570 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, Person and ProfessionalService) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fticonsulting.com).
Valid certificate (145 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for fti.de and is valid for another 145 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.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://fti.de redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fticonsulting.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
fticonsulting.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 28 years old
28 yearsfticonsulting.com was registered in Apr 1998 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
fticonsulting.com is registered until Apr 2027.
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,101 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,101 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
fti.de has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
fti.de has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
fti.de has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
