Speed

9 to fix37
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 6.7 MB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 79). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.1 MB

    15 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Facebook and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 750 ms

    750 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 750 ms of main-thread work and 848 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.

  • Hubspot adds 418 ms

    418 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 721 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.

  • expertise.ai adds 133 ms

    133 ms

    expertise.ai costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 466 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 37. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Forced reflow

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    Your largest element takes 19.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Pakketbezorger met doos in haar handen”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.8 s

    31.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 818 ms

    818 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 818 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 205 ms to 195 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 188 ms

    188 ms

    Real visitors wait 188 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 462 ms

    462 ms

    Real visitors wait 462 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.007

    0.007

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.007, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 20.4 MB in 161 requests

    20.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 20.4 MB in 161 requests on a phone: media 14.4 MB (1), images 2.8 MB (43) and scripts 2.8 MB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (2.2 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.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (2.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.77 g of CO₂e: 692.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8489
  • 15 buttons without a name

    15 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (5 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 28 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • No structured data

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

  • 156 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 156 pages on level.works and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “Los structureel personeelstekort op met Level.works. Jouw partner voor praktisch talent in de transport, logistiek, tec…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Jouw partner voor praktisch talent.”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Level.works | Partner voor praktisch talent”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://nl.level.works/.

  • 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://nl.level.works/sitemap_index.xml.

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://nl.level.works/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 (813 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://nl.level.works/werkzoekend/vacatures took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 62 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    91 of 92 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • No social proof

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

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

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

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 685 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 685 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact opnemen” and “Contact”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) 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 level.works, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
