Speed

6 to fix74
  • Improve image delivery

    2.9 s · 1.5 MB

    7 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 284 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (284 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • Font display

    600 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 600 ms).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 44 KiB

    About 44 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    About 29 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 120 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “pass-gmbh-und-co-kg-stage-286447573.jpg”.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 77 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 85 ms

    85 ms

    Real visitors wait 85 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 677 ms

    677 ms

    Real visitors wait 677 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix48
  • 7 images far larger than shown

    1.6 MB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example pass-gmbh-und-co-kg-teaser-chassis-parts-317211758.jpg at 1,870 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 1.6 MB.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (2.3 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.

  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 32 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 32 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (21), scripts 72 KiB (2) and fonts 60 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (987 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

    7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.

  • 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 (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10084
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“PASS - Your competent partner for media carrying …”, “PASS - Your competent partner for media carrying …” and “PASS - Your competent partner for media carrying …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 57 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 57 pages on pass.de and 4 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 98 characters

    Your meta description is 98 characters: “From rubber compounding to finished pipe systems | In business for over 100 years ► Find out more!”.

  • Title: 41 characters

    Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Partner for media carrying systems | PASS”.

  • 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://pass.de/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://pass.de/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.

2 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 (480 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix0
  • 15 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://pass.de/en/en/home.html, https://pass.de/en/en/company.html, https://pass.de/en/en/history.html, https://pass.de/en/en/development-competence.html, https://pass.de/en/en/manufacturing-competence.html and https://pass.de/en/en/quality.html and 9 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    26 of 29 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix67
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Only about 226 words

    The homepage has only about 226 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 3 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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