Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.2 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.2 s.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 2.0 MB8 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
610 ms · 119 KiBAbout 119 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 76 KiBAbout 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
300 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
22 KiB22 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 89 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
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 JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Main-thread work: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 431 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.5 s
15.5 sYour largest element takes 15.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
First Contentful Paint: 5.5 s
5.5 sThe first text or image appears after 5.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 16.1 s
16.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.4 s
8.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
25 images without width and height
25 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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
Total Blocking Time: 85 ms
85 msScripts block the page for only 85 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
6 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example canals.png at 2,085 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 56 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 56 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (24), fonts 330 KiB (7) and scripts 328 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (2.1 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (2.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
20 text elements with low contrast
20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
32 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 10 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 (75 characters)
Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “PROSTEP - North Africa's Premier Multi-Brand Footwear Distribution Platform”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“About PROSTEP International” and “Leadership & Corporate Governance”). 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 XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://prostep.dz/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at prostep.dz/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
7 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 7 pages on prostep.dz and 2 external pages.
1 checks passed
Meta description: 134 characters
Your meta description is 134 characters: “Founded in October 2017, PROSTEP has established itself as Algeria's undisputed leader in multi-brand footwear distribu…”.
AI search readiness
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://prostep.dz/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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (357 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 348 words of copy
The homepage carries about 348 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact us” and “[email protected]”.
1 short form
A short form (5 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 12 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 prostep.dz, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
