Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 2.3 MB74 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 358 KiBAbout 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 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.4 s).
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s5 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 MB27 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
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 84 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msGoogle 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 107 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.2 s
17.2 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.0 s
10.0 sVisually, 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 sThe 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 12 ms
12 msScripts block the page for only 12 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 97 requests
4.6 MBYour 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 KiB5 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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

Content and conversion
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
