Speed

7 to fix73
  • Improve image delivery

    2.8 s · 525 KiB

    4 images could be 525 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 73

    73/100

    Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 91 KiB

    About 91 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,880 HTML elements

    The page has 2,880 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 646 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 186 ms

    186 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 744 KiB and 379 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    237 KiB

    About 237 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    47 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (47 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    Your largest element takes 9.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Two models in sunglasses”.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 70 ms

    70 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 70 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix50
  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 3.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 255 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 255 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (31), scripts 887 KiB (115) and other files 775 KiB (92). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (3.4 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.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    185 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example bi-burt.webp at 1,400 px wide, shown at 174 px. Resized copies would save about 185 KiB.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.11 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.11 g of CO₂e: 133.7 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

7 to fixGoogle 8990
  • 28 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 11 tap targets too small

    11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 4 images without alt text

    4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 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 9293
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“MESSYWEEKEND” and “THE BLACK INDEX”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 133 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 133 pages on messyweekend.de and 14 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 96 characters

    Your meta description is 96 characters: “MESSYWEEKEND is an independent eyewear brand built on Scandinavian clarity and modern precision.”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “MESSYWEEKEND™: Quality Eyewear”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://messyweekend.de/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://messyweekend.de/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,385 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://messyweekend.de/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://messyweekend.de/pages/editorials and https://messyweekend.de/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 23 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 419 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 419 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “SHOP THE BLACK INDEX”, “SIGN UP” and “Sign up”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 messyweekend.de, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
