gehre.ch website review

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

4 images could be 390 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics and others), adding 2.3 MB and 791 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

YouTube costs a phone 673 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (194 KiB).

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 122 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 11.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 10.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 79 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (39), images 1.5 MB (7) and HTML 187 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Logo_Neu_Ursi_RZ-scaled.png at 2,560 px wide, shown at 44 px. Resized copies would save about 285 KiB.

4 images (393 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.

4 images further down the page (128 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

The homepage links to 48 pages on gehre.ch and 13 external pages.

There is no https://www.gehre.ch/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.

https://www.gehre.ch/bobath-und-neurologische-physiotherapie, https://www.gehre.ch/neurophysiologische-physiotherapie-mit-elementen-aus-dem-karate, https://www.gehre.ch/integrative-baby-therapie, https://www.gehre.ch/studie-funktionelle-augenprobleme and https://www.gehre.ch/plagiocephalie have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 636 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
