Speed
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 171 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
103 KiBAbout 103 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, Contentful and Cloudflare CDN), adding 15 KiB and 12 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
7 KiB1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Core Web Vitals

Time to Interactive: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 3.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.14 g of CO₂e: 16.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 495 KiB in 18 requests
495 KiBYour homepage downloads 495 KiB in 18 requests on a phone: scripts 459 KiB (10), HTML 20 KiB (1) and images 10 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 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.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
16 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 21 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 16 passed and 5 failed. 1 more 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.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://martin-riedweg.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
8 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 8 pages on martin-riedweg.com and 0 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 119 characters
Your meta description is 119 characters: “My name is Martin, I'm an engineering student and software developer. I’m also an indie maker that built SAAS products.”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Martin Riedweg | Freelance Software Engineer & Indie Maker”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://martin-riedweg.com/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (179 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/ and https://martin-riedweg.com/about all use the title “Martin Riedweg | Freelance Software Engineer & Indie Maker”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages share a meta description
https://martin-riedweg.com/projects, https://martin-riedweg.com/about, https://martin-riedweg.com/amazon-price-tracker-with-zenaton-puppeteer, https://martin-riedweg.com/amazon-ses-on-laravel, https://martin-riedweg.com/laravel-zero-dusk-tracking-twitter-accounts and https://martin-riedweg.com/laravel-5-7-api-authentification-with-laravel-passport use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://martin-riedweg.com/projects and https://martin-riedweg.com/about have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://martin-riedweg.com/about has 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.
6 internal pages checked
We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.

Content and conversion
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.
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 179 words
The homepage has only about 179 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent

Security, domain, email and software versions
