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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 655 KiBAbout 655 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
4,092 HTML elements
The page has 4,092 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
192 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (192 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 34 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 34 KiBAbout 34 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.
Improve image delivery
183 KiB9 images could be 183 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (eye-able.com, Trust Pilot and Usercentrics CMP and others), adding 735 KiB and 82 ms of main-thread time.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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: 32 ms
32 msYour server sent the HTML in 32 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s
8.6 sYour largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Lieblingsschmuck für jeden Tag”.
Time to Interactive: 11.7 s
11.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.7 s

Total Blocking Time: 268 ms
268 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 268 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).
Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

Tap response (INP) got 48% faster for real visitors
-48%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 313 ms to 166 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.057
0.057The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.057, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 155 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 155 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (85), scripts 1.3 MB (39) and media 513 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
scu_14370_sogni_d_oro_20240220_maincampaign_mob_2x.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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (139 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (188 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (209 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 209 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 145 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 8 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (28 characters)
Your title is only 28 characters: “HSE - einfach online shoppen”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.hse.de/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
462 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 462 pages on hse.com and 17 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 101 characters
Your meta description is 101 characters: “Ob Fashion, Beauty, Schmuck oder Home & Living - Entdecken Sie die inspirierende Shoppingwelt von HSE”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Entdecken Sie die vielfältige Produktwelt von HSE”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
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.
3 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.
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 (2,742 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/dpl/c/shop/mode has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
2 linked pages hidden from search
/dpl/cv and /dpl/m/campaign/sale-mode are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/dpl/cv and /dpl/c/shop/mode have 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 /dpl/c/top-angebote, whose canonical is /dpl/c/service/uebersicht. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages without an H1
/dpl/c/top-angebote, /dpl/cv, /dpl/m/campaign/sale-mode and /dpl/m/brand/thom-by-thomas-rath/mode have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/dpl/m/category/mode/schuhe took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 184 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
190 of 197 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/edge/?form=MA13FJ.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (hse.de).
Valid certificate (103 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert EV RSA CA G2 verifies for hse.com and is valid for another 103 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://hse.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 56 links work
All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
hse.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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 1,831 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,831 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a:mx01.rexx-systems.de ip4:193.28.100.68/32 ip4:193.28.97.84/32 ip4:194.147.133.36/32 ip4:188.95.0.38/32 ip4:188…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
2 checks passed
Consent tool: Usercentrics
A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.
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).
