knoops.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
5,298 HTML elements
The page has 5,298 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 257 KiBAbout 257 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.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 174 ms
174 msKlaviyo costs a phone 174 ms of main-thread work and 335 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Reviews.co.uk and Shopify and others), adding 674 KiB and 292 ms of main-thread time.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 86 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (86 KiB).
Improve image delivery
55 KiB2 images could be 55 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
26 KiB26 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.6 MB in 289 requests
17.6 MBYour homepage downloads 17.6 MB in 289 requests on a phone: media 13.9 MB (4), images 1.7 MB (48) and scripts 915 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Nav_Gif_New_Font-ezgif.com-optimize.gif weighs 2.0 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
3 images in older formats
3 images (2.1 MB) 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 5.0 g of CO₂ per visit
4.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.99 g of CO₂e: 599.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (23 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 163 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 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…”, “.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…” and “Cosy season starts here”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
286 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 286 pages on knoops.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://knoops.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

3 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 (1,528 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

Served over HTTPS

Valid certificate (75 days left)

Protected from clickjacking

http:// redirects to https

Domain and trust
No CAA record
knoops.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
knoops.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed

Content and conversion
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 1,646 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,646 words of visible text.
