Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 886 KiB46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (886 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 459 KiBAbout 459 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Cookiebot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 593 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 289 ms
289 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 289 ms of main-thread work and 336 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.
2,975 HTML elements
The page has 2,975 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Hubspot adds 240 ms
240 msHubspot costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 401 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: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 243 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
49 KiB2 images could be 49 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Core Web Vitals

Speed Index: 5.9 s
5.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 37% slower for real visitors
+37%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.7 s
3.7 sYour largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Large logo sculpture on a pole against a blue sky with clou…”.
Total Blocking Time: 493 ms
493 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 493 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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.

First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 92 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 92 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (29), images 256 KiB (22) and fonts 228 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Novicell - we are a digital consultancy with +20 years of experience”.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization, VideoObject and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
257 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 257 pages on novicell.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 143 characters
Your meta description is 143 characters: “We help companies optimise their business online. Our services cover IT architecture, e-commerce, web solutions and onl…”.
One H1 headline

Canonical URL set

robots.txt in place

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.novicell.com/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 (848 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
