sendcloud.com website review

Framer CDN costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, Facebook and cookiebot.eu and others), adding 1.9 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 464 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (425 KiB).

2 images could be 307 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Facebook costs a phone 250 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.

The page has 2,654 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 150 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (64), images 509 KiB (42) and fonts 94 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example jP5gTpo1MuAzOXBz8WghNjyTAk.png at 2,048 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 229 KiB.

1 image further down the page (89 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 51 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Europe’s leading shipping platform for e-commerce”, “Europe’s leading shipping platform for e-commerce” and “Europe’s leading shipping platform for e-commerce”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

The homepage links to 146 pages on sendcloud.com and 58 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.

There is 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.

/enterprise, /pricing and /integrations have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “jQuery is not defined”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://support.sendcloud.com/.

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.

sendcloud.com 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.

Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

The homepage carries about 1,279 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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
