Speed

6 to fix70
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.4 s · 726 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (726 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 307 KiB

    About 307 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • 3,782 HTML elements

    The page has 3,782 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 62 KiB

    About 62 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    19 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    107 KiB

    3 images could be 107 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Document request latency

    104 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 490 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 324 ms

    324 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 324 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 256 ms

    256 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 256 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 83 ms to 85 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Real-user TTFB: 656 ms

    656 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    SGKB-Visa-Jackpot-Hochformat.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 49.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.4 MB in 28 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 28 requests on a phone: images 552 KiB (11), scripts 509 KiB (7) and HTML 157 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7084
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (1 element)

    <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (37 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 37 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • No structured data

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 205 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 205 pages on sgkb.ch and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Die St. Galler Kantonalbank ist Ihre erste Bank in St. Gallen und Appenzell Ausserrhoden für Bankkonten, Geldanlage, Vo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Heute Plan. Morgen Leben.”.

  • Title: 55 characters

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.sgkb.ch/sitemap.xml.

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.

3 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 (905 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.sgkb.ch/llms.txt (195 KiB, 618 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Content and conversion

4 to fix42
  • No call to action on the first screen

    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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

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

  • 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 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 478 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 478 words of visible text.

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
