Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
30.6 s · 7.9 MB90 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.9 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.3 s · 1.9 MBAbout 1.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
5.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.1 s.
Reduce unused CSS
3.8 s · 827 KiBAbout 827 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 1.2 MB5 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 10
10/100Your mobile performance score is 10. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,093 HTML elements
The page has 4,093 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
700 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 700 ms).
Minify CSS
300 ms · 45 KiB45 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 284 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 477 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.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, adoberesources.net and Google Fonts and others), adding 716 KiB and 58 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 140 ms
140 msYour server sent the HTML in 140 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 38.0 s
38.0 sYour largest element takes 38.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Christmas markets mobile”.
Time to Interactive: 38.0 s
38.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.8 s
5.8 sThe first text or image appears after 5.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.78
0.78The layout shifts by 0.78 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 8.8 s
8.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 3.5 s
3.5 sReal visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 239 ms
239 msReal visitors wait 239 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.11
0.11For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 checks passed
Real-user FCP: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 514 ms
514 msReal visitors wait 514 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 34% faster for real visitors
-34%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 334 ms to 220 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.9 MB in 115 requests
8.9 MBYour homepage downloads 8.9 MB in 115 requests on a phone: scripts 4.2 MB (45), images 3.0 MB (41) and stylesheets 921 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
17 images in older formats
17 images (2.6 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.
15 images below the first screen load straight away
15 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit
2.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.52 g of CO₂e: 302.1 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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Interactive controls must not be nested (4 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
ARIA tab nodes must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA tab nodes must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (48 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 48 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 29 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 10 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (72 characters)
Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Luxair: Official Site – Book Direct Flights to 90+ Destinations from 89€”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (229 characters)
Your meta description is 229 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
7 links with vague text
7 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 incomplete here.
60 internal links, 23 external
The homepage links to 60 pages on luxair.lu and 23 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.luxair.lu/en/.
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://www.luxair.lu/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
56%The HTML your server sends has 578 of the 1,026 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.luxair.lu/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.
1 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.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.luxair.lu/en/offers/christmas-market has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
7 pages without an H1
https://www.luxair.lu/fr, https://www.luxair.lu/de, https://www.luxair.lu/pt, https://www.luxair.lu/it, https://www.luxair.lu/es and https://www.luxair.lu/en/offers/high-five-luxair-loyalty-program and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 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.

Best practices
12 small tap targets
12 of 32 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://dxp-assets.luxair.lu/legacy-styleguide/2.42.2/styles/main.css' from origin 'https:…”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 1,026 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,026 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: “Book now” and “Book holidays”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Call us (Mon to Sun 08.00 - 19.00)”, “Contact us” and “Call now”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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
5Opening 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 luxair.lu, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
