Speed

9 to fix57
  • Improve image delivery

    6.6 s · 7.1 MB

    8 images could be 7.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    5.1 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 557 KiB

    About 557 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and firebaseapp.com and others), adding 19.0 MB and 515 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 192 ms

    192 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 18.4 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 142 KiB

    About 142 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 85 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (85 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 206 ms

    206 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 335 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 25 KiB

    25 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 611 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 38.3 s

    38.3 s

    Your largest element takes 38.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WORLD-CLASS TEAM Proudly representing NTNU as a top-perform…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 38.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 84 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 19.9 MB in 78 requests

    19.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 19.9 MB in 78 requests on a phone: images 18.1 MB (16), scripts 1.2 MB (26) and fonts 455 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 5.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.64 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.64 g of CO₂e: 676.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9295
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 7 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 24 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 24 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10083
  • 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 (485 characters)

    Your meta description is 485 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.revolve.no/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 33 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 33 pages on revolve.no and 7 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “THEORY IN PRACTICE”.

  • Title: 33 characters

    Your title is a healthy 33 characters: “Revolve NTNU – Theory in Practice”.

  • 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.

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.revolve.no/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 (270 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.revolve.no/master-bachelor, https://www.revolve.no/revolvedagen-pages/revolvedagen and https://www.revolve.no/unveiling have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    https://www.revolve.no/about-us, https://www.revolve.no/blog and https://www.revolve.no/wallpapers use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://www.revolve.no/partners, https://www.revolve.no/unveiling and https://www.revolve.no/wallpapers have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    11 pages of 12 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Only about 227 words

    The homepage has only about 227 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Join Us” and “Join the Team”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Join Us” and “Join the Team”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 revolve.no, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
