Speed

12 to fix67
  • Main-thread work: 7.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,901 HTML elements

    The page has 3,901 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 MB

    6 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (speaz.com, Clarity and loox.io and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 390 KiB

    About 390 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • speaz.com adds 507 ms

    507 ms

    speaz.com costs a phone 507 ms of main-thread work and 68 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 253 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (253 KiB).

  • Clarity adds 328 ms

    328 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 30 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 222 ms

    222 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 222 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.

  • Shopify adds 75 ms

    75 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 507 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.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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 CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 25.8 s

    25.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 25.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.111

    0.111

    The layout shifts by 0.111 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 166 ms 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: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 137 ms

    137 ms

    Real visitors wait 137 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 724 ms

    724 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 190 ms

    190 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 190 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.0 MB in 479 requests

    6.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 479 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (39), other files 1.8 MB (264) and scripts 1.4 MB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    126 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 202602_LANCEMENT_SS26_1080x1080_gilets.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 126 KiB.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.69 g of CO₂e: 202.5 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 load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9395
  • 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 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 20 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 57 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 57 passed and 3 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://raidlight.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 441 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 441 pages on raidlight.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Raidlight, a trail running specialist, offers an ultralight range: backpacks, waterproof jackets, and innovative equipm…”.

  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Raidlight | Trail running since 1999”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://raidlight.com/en.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://raidlight.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 (3,027 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix63
  • 1 page without a title

    https://raidlight.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://raidlight.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://raidlight.com/policies/refund-policy, https://raidlight.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://raidlight.com/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://raidlight.com/policies/refund-policy, whose canonical is https://raidlight.com/en/policies/refund-policy. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://raidlight.com/policies/refund-policy, https://raidlight.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://raidlight.com/pages/notre-histoire and https://raidlight.com/customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 171 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix75
  • 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 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No map or directions link

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

  • About 1,027 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,027 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Ambassador outings schedule”, “Start shopping” and “Contact us”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 355 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 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 raidlight.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
