Speed

9 to fix72
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 886 KiB

    46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (886 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 459 KiB

    About 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 ms

    12 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Hubspot 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    2 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.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix73
  • Time to Interactive: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Visually, 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 s

    Your 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 ms

    Scripts 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.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 92 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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.

3 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 9493
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 69 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 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

    Your main headline reads: “Shaping the digital universe”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.novicell.com/.

  • 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.novicell.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 148 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 459 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 459 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: “GET IN TOUCH”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Get in touch”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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 novicell.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
