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
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 157 KiBAbout 157 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 88 KiBAbout 88 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 98 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (98 KiB).
Cookiebot adds 326 ms
326 msCookiebot costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 162 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.
2,910 HTML elements
The page has 2,910 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, service-now.com and bc0a.com and others), adding 226 KiB and 333 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 209 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
28 KiB3 images could be 28 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 564 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 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.
Real-user FCP: 3.5 s
3.5 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 3.5 s
3.5 sReal visitors wait 3.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s
7.5 sYour largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.4 s).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.704
0.704The layout shifts by 0.704 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.6 s
7.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.6 s
3.6 sReal visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.13
0.13For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors
+13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Largest content (LCP) got 33% faster for real visitors
-33%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.0 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 74 ms
74 msScripts block the page for only 74 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 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.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.31 g of CO₂e: 37.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 71 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 71 requests on a phone: scripts 518 KiB (27), images 257 KiB (19) and stylesheets 187 KiB (17). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 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: 50 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Registration for IGEL Now & Next 2027 Is Now Open!”, “Your Endpoints Are the Breach. Make them Immutabl…” and “The Recovery Gap Nobody Plans For.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization, SiteNavigationElement and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

AI search readiness

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
