Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.7 MB
7.7 MBYour homepage downloads 7.7 MB on a phone, 4.8 MB of it images (62%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images far larger than shown
752 KiB10 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example golfbays-shallow-putting-cup.webp at 900 px wide, shown at 168 px. Resized copies would save about 752 KiB.
35 images in older formats
35 images (3.2 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.
13 images below the first screen load straight away
13 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.19 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.19 g of CO₂e: 262.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
27 buttons without a name
27 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Positive tabindex
1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
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 (11 elements)

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
7 form fields without a label
7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h4 → h6, h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 64 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 11 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 (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “GolfBays | Aangepaste golfsimulatoren en omkasting voor indoor golf”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (165 characters)
Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 546 pages on golfbays.nl and 18 external pages.
