Speed

10 to fix41
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41 (desktop: 65). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 481 KiB

    About 481 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 205 KiB

    15 images could be 205 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 387 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (387 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 410 ms

    410 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 410 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.

  • website-files.com adds 328 ms

    328 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Facebook adds 321 ms

    321 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 321 ms of main-thread work and 220 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.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 248 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    About 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

  • Time to Interactive: 16.2 s

    16.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 105 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.078

    0.078

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.078, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 103 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 103 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (33), images 425 KiB (31) and fonts 216 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    193 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6a105e72910b30c910b57e75_HomeENNew.png at 1,650 px wide, shown at 339 px. Resized copies would save about 193 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (311 KiB) is 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 71.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    3 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • 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 (h1 → h4), 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. (7 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 121 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 10088
  • Title is long (74 characters)

    Your title is 74 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Malou - Boostez la Visibilité et le Chiffre d'Affaires de Votre Restaurant”.

  • Meta description is long (326 characters)

    Your meta description is 326 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 91 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 91 pages on malou.io and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Transformez la découverte locale en moteur de croissance”.

    The canonical URL is https://www.malou.io/.

  • Structured data in place

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.malou.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

4 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, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,414 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 1,180 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,180 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: “Get a free demo” and “Get your visibility score”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 2 mores (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 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 malou.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
