katapult.amsterdam website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

Framer CDN costs a phone 987 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 247 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 427 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 323 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 1,950 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Google Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 343 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.

6 images could be 129 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Three Katapult team members smiling and standing outdoors i…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 316 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example sWyPd7BYbuk8iPCNuyvmC1dN68s.jpg at 1,024 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 19 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 52 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“SaaS recruitment by SaaS professionals” and “SaaS recruitment by professionals”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

10 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 103 pages on katapult.amsterdam and 12 external pages.

There is no https://katapult.nl/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.

https://katapult.nl/about, https://katapult.nl/cases, https://katapult.nl/blog, https://katapult.nl/careers and https://katapult.nl/contact all use the title “Katapult”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://katapult.nl/about, https://katapult.nl/cases, https://katapult.nl/blog, https://katapult.nl/careers, https://katapult.nl/contact and https://katapult.nl/cases/custom4trade-enterprise-account-executives and 7 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://katapult.nl/cases has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to execute 'insertBefore' on 'Node': Unexpected token '<'”.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 586 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
