Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.4 s · 726 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (726 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 307 KiBAbout 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
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 62 KiBAbout 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 KiB19 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 KiB3 images could be 107 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Document request latency
104 KiBThe 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 324 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s
5.4 sYour largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 5.0 s
5.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.4 s
5.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 256 ms
256 msScripts 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 sThe 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).

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