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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 375 KiBAbout 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, consentmanager.net and crowdriff.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 504 ms
504 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 504 ms of main-thread work and 448 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 67 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (67 KiB).
consentmanager.net adds 383 ms
383 msconsentmanager.net costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 148 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,835 HTML elements
The page has 2,835 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 14.4 MB in 179 requests
14.4 MBYour homepage downloads 14.4 MB in 179 requests on a phone: media 12.9 MB (2), scripts 1.1 MB (87) and images 168 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (121 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.07 g of CO₂e: 488.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (1 element)

2 text elements with low contrast
2 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 (1 element)

1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed

SEO
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
354 internal links, 79 external
The homepage links to 354 pages on luzern.com and 79 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 140 characters
Your meta description is 140 characters: “Spend your holidays in the city of Lucerne and discover the diversity of the Lucerne-Lake Lucerne Region. The City. The…”.
One H1 headline

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,441 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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 559 words of copy
The homepage carries about 559 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking

2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions
