One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

5 to fix62
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 655 KiB

    About 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 s

    5 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

    62/100

    Your 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 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (192 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 34 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    9 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 32 ms

    32 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 32 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 268 ms

    268 ms

    Scripts 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).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 178 ms

    178 ms

    Real visitors wait 178 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 732 ms

    732 ms

    Real visitors wait 732 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 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 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.057

    0.057

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.057, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix83
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 155 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

8 to fixGoogle 7990
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • 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

100
  • 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

5 to fix63
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 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

2 to fix86
  • 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

5 to fix56
  • 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

95
  • 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).
