Speed

10 to fix61
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 2.3 MB

    74 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 358 KiB

    About 358 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    1.4 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.4 s).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 2.0 MB

    27 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 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 84 KiB

    About 84 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1,580 HTML elements

    The page has 1,580 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google CDN adds 66 ms

    66 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 66 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, cdn-cookieyes.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 678 KiB and 175 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 74 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 303 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 107 ms

    107 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 107 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.2 s

    17.2 s

    Your largest element takes 17.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is element render delay (10.3 s).

  • Time to Interactive: 18.0 s

    18.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 61 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.4 s to 4.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 12 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix33
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 97 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 97 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (68), scripts 706 KiB (11) and fonts 182 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    753 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example norte30.png at 11,584 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 753 KiB.

  • 15 images in older formats

    15 images (2.5 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.

  • 20 images below the first screen load straight away

    20 images further down the page (2.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.30 g of CO₂e: 156.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8291
  • 15 tap targets too small

    15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 16 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 14 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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

6 to fixGoogle 8370
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

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

  • No canonical URL

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

  • Meta description is long (165 characters)

    Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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://www.retail-consult.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 70 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 70 pages on retail-consult.com and 13 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Retail Consult | Retail Consult”.

  • robots.txt in place

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

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://www.retail-consult.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.

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 (3,047 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://www.retail-consult.com/en all use the title “Retail Consult | Retail Consult”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.retail-consult.com/cn has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages share a meta description

    https://www.retail-consult.com/en/what-we-do, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/clients, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/work-with-us, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/about-us, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/get-in-touch and https://www.retail-consult.com/en/retail-iq and 1 other use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://www.retail-consult.com/en/what-we-do, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/clients, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/work-with-us, https://www.retail-consult.com/en/get-in-touch, https://www.retail-consult.com/en and https://www.retail-consult.com/cn 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 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.retail-consult.com/0000000001/whiteflinklogo_614.png.

  • 27 small tap targets

    27 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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 (Not Found)”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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 opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 1,951 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,951 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “get in touch”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Get in touch”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks, 62 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

  • 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 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 (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at retail-consult.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
