Speed
Improve image delivery
2.8 s · 525 KiB4 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 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 91 KiBAbout 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 msrebuyengine.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 KiBAbout 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 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (47 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.3 s
9.3 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.6 s
3.6 sVisually, 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 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 70 ms
70 msScripts block the page for only 70 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
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 MBYour 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 KiB2 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 gBy 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.

Accessibility
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 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.

AI search readiness

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
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.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof

No direct contact details

No risk reducer
