Speed

8 to fix52
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.0 s · 685 KiB

    About 685 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 1.3 MB

    12 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. 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, Google CDN and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.3 MB and 587 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 63 KiB

    About 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 288 ms

    288 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 474 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.

  • Google CDN adds 254 ms

    254 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    100 ms · 10 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 996 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.0 s

    19.0 s

    Your largest element takes 19.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.5 s

    19.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 204 ms

    204 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 204 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 105 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 105 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (51), scripts 1.5 MB (27) and other files 356 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (1.6 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.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 149.1 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

6 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 49 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10086
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Article, ImageObject, Organization and Person) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://loyals.group)”.

  • 38 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 38 pages on loyals.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 120 characters

    Your meta description is 120 characters: “Ontdek hoe we jouw bedrijfs laten groeien met onze disciplines Merk, Marketing, Digitale Producten, Data en Consultancy.”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Loyals Groep, full service agency voor ondernemend Nederland”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://loyals.nl/.

  • 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://loyals.nl/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://loyals.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (422 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://loyals.nl/case/digitaal-gezondheidsplatform-verhoogt-gebruikersbetrokkenheid-met-145 and https://loyals.nl/case/smitdorlas-digitale-transformatie-van-klantportaal all use the title “Digitale transformatie voor SMIT&DORLAS | Loyals Groep”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://loyals.nl/events, https://loyals.nl/case/ux-seo-optimalisatie-bergman-clinics-nextly-huray-smartranking, https://loyals.nl/case/van-honderd-id-checks-per-week-naar-tienduizend-per-dag and https://loyals.nl/case/het-dataplatform-voor-woningcorporaties have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://loyals.nl/case/digitaal-gezondheidsplatform-verhoogt-gebruikersbetrokkenheid-met-145 and https://loyals.nl/case/smitdorlas-digitale-transformatie-van-klantportaal use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://loyals.nl/contact, https://loyals.nl/case/snellere-aanvraagverwerking-in-de-gww-sector-met-ai and https://loyals.nl/case/spraakgestuurde-restaurantreserveringen-met-ai-voice-agent have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://loyals.nl/contact, https://loyals.nl/cases and https://loyals.nl/updates have 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 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • 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
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Framing 'https://www.google.com/' violates the following report-only Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestor…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 435 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 435 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Neem contact op” and “Neem direct contact op”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 17 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 loyals.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
