Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 435 KiB6 images could be 435 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
2,119 HTML elements
The page has 2,119 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (cookieinformation.com and retriever.dk), adding 43 KiB and 54 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
30 KiBAbout 30 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
84 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 84 pages on retrievergroup.com and 15 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 140 characters
Your meta description is 140 characters: “Retriever enables businesses and organizations to make better decisions through media data, digital technologies and co…”.

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://retrievergroup.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and Place.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://retrievergroup.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 4 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
3 checks passed
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,394 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://retrievergroup.com/llms.txt (8 KiB, 39 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://retrievergroup.com/social-media and https://retrievergroup.com/social-media-management all use the title “Social Media Management | Retriever”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
https://retrievergroup.com/social-media and https://retrievergroup.com/social-media-management use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://retrievergroup.com/social-media, whose canonical is https://retrievergroup.com/social-media-management. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Content and conversion
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 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.
A 8-field form
Your longest form asks for 8 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 358 words of copy
The homepage carries about 358 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.
26 calls to action

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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
