Speed

10 to fix65
  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 361 KiB

    13 images could be 361 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, productfinder.app and Shopify and others), adding 1.6 MB and 944 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    711 KiB

    About 711 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 81 KiB

    About 81 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 297 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • productfinder.app adds 230 ms

    230 ms

    productfinder.app costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 491 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.

  • tidio.co adds 92 ms

    92 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 92 ms of main-thread work and 515 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

    143 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (143 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 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 JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 49 ms

    49 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 49 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Your largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 264 ms

    264 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 264 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 11.4 MB in 263 requests

    11.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.4 MB in 263 requests on a phone: media 6.6 MB (9), images 1.9 MB (47) and scripts 1.7 MB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 16 images in older formats

    16 images (2.5 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.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.23 g of CO₂e: 387.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9597
  • 13 images without alt text

    13 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), 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. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 2 failed. 3 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
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, ImageObject and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://molecule.dk)”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 77 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 77 pages on molecule.se and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed

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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (515 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*) in CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`…”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

4 to fix42
  • 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.

  • 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 300 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 300 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

2 checks passed
  • 8 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 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 molecule.se, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads
