shopware.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 378 KiBAbout 378 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 203 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (203 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,256 HTML elements
The page has 4,256 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 640 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
526 KiB10 images could be 526 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, Hubspot and ctfassets.net and others), adding 1.4 MB and 237 ms of main-thread time.
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 983 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 192 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 192 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (80), images 1,017 KiB (74) and HTML 132 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

AI search readiness

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
