Speed
Improve image delivery
35.9 s · 7.2 MB9 images could be 7.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 35.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 635 KiBAbout 635 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.9 s · 519 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (519 KiB).
Shopify adds 1.3 s
1.3 sShopify costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 448 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.7 s
A phone's processor spends 6.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,992 HTML elements
The page has 3,992 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and alia-prod.com and others), adding 2.6 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 591 ms
591 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 591 ms of main-thread work and 710 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.
alia-prod.com adds 531 ms
531 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 531 ms of main-thread work and 746 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.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 212 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 50 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Bars_on_a_line.gif weighs 14.7 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 12.0 MB in 417 requests
12.0 MBYour homepage downloads 12.0 MB in 417 requests on a phone: images 8.5 MB (23), scripts 2.1 MB (109) and other files 1.1 MB (252). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (14.7 MB) 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (14.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.4 g of CO₂ per visit
3.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.41 g of CO₂e: 408.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
29 text elements with low contrast
29 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
35 links without text
35 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), 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. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
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
Title is long (92 characters)
Your title is 92 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Snacks with no added sugar | Sweets, ice cream and delicious chocolates | NICK'S – NICK'S…”.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “new look, better taste” and “unwrap me baby”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (228 characters)
Your meta description is 228 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("#")”.
100 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 100 pages on nicks.dk and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://nicks.dk/.
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://nicks.dk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
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.
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 (10,000 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Best practices
11 small tap targets
11 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://d19ayerf5ehaab.cloudfront.net/css/product-widget/style.css' from origin 'https://n…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://nicks.dk/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=DK.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (nicks.dk).
Valid certificate (59 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for nicks.dk and is valid for another 59 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://nicks.dk redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
nicks.dk has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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 733 words of copy
The homepage carries about 733 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: “buy”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Subscribe” and “buy”.
31 short forms
31 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
nicks.dk has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
nicks.dk has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
nicks.dk has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.
29 cookies set on arrival
29Opening the homepage sets 29 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
