Speed

11 to fix73
  • Main-thread work: 7.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 862 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (amaicdn.com, Clarity and azurefd.net and others), adding 7.5 MB and 423 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 73

    73/100

    Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 24 ms

    24 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 24 ms of main-thread work and 6.7 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    470 KiB

    About 470 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 253 KiB

    11 images could be 253 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    310 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (310 KiB).

  • amaicdn.com adds 200 ms

    200 ms

    amaicdn.com costs a phone 200 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.

  • 1,711 HTML elements

    The page has 1,711 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • azurefd.net adds 36 ms

    36 ms

    azurefd.net costs a phone 36 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    52 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    16 KiB

    About 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Your largest element takes 7.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Raf Brand Herbst Winter 2026 v3”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 115 ms

    115 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 115 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015

    0.015

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 10.7 MB in 370 requests

    10.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.7 MB in 370 requests on a phone: media 6.6 MB (1), images 1.8 MB (41) and other files 1.1 MB (208). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (107 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.04 g of CO₂e: 364.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 8691
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (3 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9284

4 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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (662 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://rafbrand.de/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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.

  • About 339 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 339 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Phone number on the homepage

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
