Speed

10 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.0 s · 952 KiB

    About 952 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.3 s · 2.1 MB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 815 KiB

    7 images could be 815 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optanon and others), adding 912 KiB and 886 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 492 ms

    492 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.

  • Font display

    450 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 62 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 62 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 72 KiB

    About 72 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    Your largest element takes 18.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 584 ms

    584 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 584 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 316 ms

    316 ms

    Real visitors wait 316 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.056

    0.056

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.056, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 55 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 55 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (11), images 2.1 MB (16) and fonts 108 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    visual-karriere-leitungstunnel.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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    109 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example IWB-E2_Fokus-1-SP_02_640x960.jpg at 640 px wide, shown at 110 px. Resized copies would save about 109 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (420 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.31 g of CO₂e: 157.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9284
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 66 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on iwb.ch and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “IWB versorgt die Region Basel. Mit Energie. Mit Wasser. Mit Telekom. Mit Mobilität. In der Schweiz sind wir die erste A…”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “IWB - von Natur aus klimafreundlich”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.iwb.ch/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.iwb.ch/sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.iwb.ch/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
  • 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (255 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix62
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/newsroom, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/karriere and https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/karriere/offene-stellen all use the title “IWB Jobs – unsere offenen Stellen im Überblick I IWB”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/karriere and https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/karriere/offene-stellen use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 5 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/unternehmen, whose canonical is https://www.iwb.ch/ueber-uns/unternehmen/uebersicht. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.iwb.ch/klimadreh/ratgeber has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix43
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 230 words

    The homepage has only about 230 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at iwb.ch, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
