scale.eu website review

33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 73 (desktop: 49). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

5 images could be 746 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 109 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 700 ms).

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 133 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.9 s).

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.0 s to 4.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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.

Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 119 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (47), scripts 405 KiB (35) and stylesheets 180 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

5 images (449 KiB) 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 112.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

20 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 161 pages on scale.eu and 2 external pages.

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.

/en/products/sales-partners is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/en/products/scale-sdm/analysis-and-reporting, /en/products/scale-sdm/ai-and-ml-integration, /en/products/scale-sdm/systems-engineering, /en/products/scale-sdm/modular-platform-design, /en/products/add-ons-and-tools and /en/products/sales-partners and 5 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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)”.

The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

Opening https://scale.eu goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

scale.eu has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,425 words of visible text.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

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.
