Speed

6 to fix74
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 503 KiB

    About 503 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 543 KiB

    31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (543 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74 (desktop: 63). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Clarity and others), adding 806 KiB and 618 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 359 ms

    359 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 74 KiB

    2 images could be 74 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 753 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 24 ms

    24 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Unleash the power of brand and design.”.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 126 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 150 ms

    150 ms

    Real visitors wait 150 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 168 ms

    168 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 73 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 73 requests on a phone: scripts 911 KiB (24), images 458 KiB (13) and fonts 264 KiB (8). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 to fixGoogle 9798
  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 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

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 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.

  • 46 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on kiska.com and 19 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 70 characters

    Your meta description is 70 characters: “KISKA drives business growth and transformation with brand and design.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Unleash the power of brand and design.”.

  • Title: 45 characters

    Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “International Brand and Design Agency - KISKA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kiska.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: NewsArticle and VideoObject.

  • 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://kiska.com/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://kiska.com/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 (640 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix85
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://kiska.com/cn declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://kiska.com/work, https://kiska.com/services, https://kiska.com/terms-and-conditions, https://kiska.com/imprint and https://kiska.com/privacy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    https://kiska.com/imprint and https://kiska.com/work/performance-boats took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was 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

    34 of 41 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 direct contact details

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

  • 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 608 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 608 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Talk to us” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (6 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

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 Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) 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).

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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