Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 541 KiBAbout 541 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.0 MB5 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cookiebot.eu and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 989 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 250 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (250 KiB).
Shopify adds 127 ms
127 msShopify costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 326 ms
326 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 32 KiB32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 5.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 244 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 244 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (22), scripts 1.3 MB (49) and other files 973 KiB (161). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
2.2 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example leaf-ezgif.com-resize.webp at 234 px wide, shown at 59 px. Resized copies would save about 2.2 MB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (5.2 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.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.8 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
16 text elements with low contrast
16 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (166 characters)
Your meta description is 166 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
34 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 34 pages on novavel.ch and 0 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Novavel CH”.
Title: 56 characters
Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Novavel – Pflanzliche Hautpflege, dermatologisch geprüft”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.novavel.ch/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.
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://www.novavel.ch/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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 (244 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.novavel.ch/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.novavel.ch/collections/all, https://www.novavel.ch/pages/contact, https://www.novavel.ch/pages/faq, https://www.novavel.ch/policies/terms-of-service, https://www.novavel.ch/policies/privacy-policy and https://www.novavel.ch/policies/contact-information and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.novavel.ch/pages/contact and https://www.novavel.ch/pages/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.novavel.ch/pages/contact and https://www.novavel.ch/policies/contact-information have 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.
12 internal pages checked
We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 248 words
The homepage has only about 248 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
2 checks passed
6 short forms
6 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
