Speed
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 276 KiBAbout 276 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
310 ms · 290 KiBAbout 290 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
300 ms · 58 KiB58 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
310 ms · 44 KiB44 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 229 KiB6 images could be 229 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, bosch.tech and svrdntfctn.com), adding 225 KiB and 134 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
93 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 62 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.
2 checks passed

Images and page weight
4 images in older formats
4 images (357 KiB) 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.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.8 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: 1.5 MB in 40 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 40 requests on a phone: images 557 KiB (18), scripts 522 KiB (11) and stylesheets 213 KiB (3). 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
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
110 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 110 pages on itk-engineering.de and 4 external pages.
