Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 651 KiB60 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (651 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Braze, VWO and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 366 KiB and 179 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
62 KiB3 images could be 62 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 332 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sYour largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “De Message Autumn”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.8 s).
Real-user INP: 202 ms
202 msReal visitors wait 202 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 5.4 s
5.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s

Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (39 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (39 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.29 g of CO₂e: 35.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.0 MB in 71 requests
1.0 MBYour homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 71 requests on a phone: images 390 KiB (26), other files 219 KiB (6) and fonts 158 KiB (6). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
45 tap targets too small
45 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.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (ImageObject, ItemPage, LocalBusiness and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Product: no offers (price) block”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.helpling.de/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at helpling.de/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
85 internal links, 32 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on helpling.de and 32 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 134 characters
Your meta description is 134 characters: “Finden Sie die ideale Reinigungskraft, Putzfrau & Haushaltshilfe für Ihr Zuhause bei Helpling - Bis 5 Mio.€ versichert …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Finden Sie Ihre persönliche Reinigungskraft in der Nähe”.
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Haushaltshilfe, Putzfrau, Reinigungskraft finden | Helpling”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.helpling.de/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.
2 checks passed
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 (719 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /putzfrau/hamburg, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /de_en, whose canonical is /de_en/de_en. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
6 pages slow to respond
/de_en, /haftpflichtversicherung, /faq, /putzfrau/berlin, /putzfrau/muenchen and /putzfrau/frankfurt-main took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Every page has a meta description
All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.helpling.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Helpling_Map_DE-720x461.webp.
Scrolls sideways on phones
On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.
1 small tap target
1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.helpling.de/vergleich/ (502).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (helpling.de).
Valid certificate (88 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for helpling.de and is valid for another 88 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://helpling.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
helpling.de 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.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 474 words of copy
The homepage carries about 474 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Pricing”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.
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
Email authentication score: 90/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net ip4:167.89.87.123/32 ip4:52.17.25.194 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
