gikacoustics.net does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 687 KiBAbout 687 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 368 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (368 KiB).
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and commoninja.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 543 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 310 KiB6 images could be 310 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,068 HTML elements
The page has 2,068 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 151 ms
151 msKlaviyo costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
azurefd.net adds 23 ms
23 msazurefd.net costs a phone 23 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
40 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 173 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 173 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (85), images 1.3 MB (35) and other files 106 KiB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Kepek10.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Acoustic Treatment: Panels, Bass Traps & Diffusers – GIK Acoustics Europe”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
160 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 160 pages on gikacoustics.net and 13 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 148 characters
Your meta description is 148 characters: “Professional acoustic treatment solutions for studios, home cinemas, offices, and listening rooms. Shop GIK Acoustics E…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The Global Benchmark in Acoustic Treatment”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.gikacoustics.net/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.gikacoustics.net/sitemap.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.
2 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 (1,299 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /products/acoustic-art-panel, whose canonical is /en-gb/collections/acoustic-art. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Linked pages load
7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97155299&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=71827dee-27d8-44f4-95fb-7f16a4d81abd&bo=3&sid=fb50ac50d8a211f1865fedbe16de8ddc&vid=fb50dfe0d8a211f1a895f7abaf9ceef8&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'loadFeatures')”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
21 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
4 broken links to your own pages
4 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.gikacoustics.net/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=AT (network).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (gikacoustics.net).
Valid certificate (72 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for gikacoustics.net and is valid for another 72 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.
http:// redirects to https
http://gikacoustics.net redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
gikacoustics.net'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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 17 years old
17 yearsgikacoustics.net was registered in Jul 2009 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only ssl.com, digicert.com, globalsign.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for gikacoustics.net, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Jul 2027
gikacoustics.net is registered until Jul 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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. 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.
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 678 words of copy
The homepage carries about 678 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop Acoustic Panels(8)” and “Shop Bass Traps(13)”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and HubSpot.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be gikacoustics.net is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
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.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:appriver.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:shops.shopify.com include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~…”.
