Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 294 KiBAbout 294 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Trust Pilot and others), adding 6.9 MB and 200 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 38 ms
38 msShopify costs a phone 38 ms of main-thread work and 6.4 MB 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.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 232 KiB7 images could be 232 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 151 ms
151 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 454 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 39 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (39 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
60 ms · 19 KiBAbout 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 60 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Render-blocking requests
50 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 50 ms.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 495 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.6 s
11.6 sYour largest element takes 11.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Gerade Zähne vom Testsieger schon ab 30€ pro Monat. Starte …”.
Time to Interactive: 11.6 s
11.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
19 images without width and height
19 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 122 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 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.7 MB in 202 requests
8.7 MBYour homepage downloads 8.7 MB in 202 requests on a phone: media 6.3 MB (3), other files 830 KiB (112) and scripts 750 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
89 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example ntv-Testsieger-2026.png at 3,703 px wide, shown at 267 px. Resized copies would save about 89 KiB.
About 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit
2.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.47 g of CO₂e: 296.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
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.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Unsichtbare Zahnkorrektur vom Testsieger - schon ab 30€ pro Monat!”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (231 characters)
Your meta description is 231 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
25 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 25 pages on smileunion.de and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Gerade Zähne vom Testsieger schon ab 30€ pro Monat.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.smileunion.de/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.smileunion.de/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (632 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.smileunion.de/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
https://www.smileunion.de/pages/wie-funktioniert-s, https://www.smileunion.de/pages/pricing, https://www.smileunion.de/pages/anleitung, https://www.smileunion.de/pages/vor-ort-termine, https://www.smileunion.de/pages/erfahrungen and https://www.smileunion.de/blogs/wissenswertes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.smileunion.de/blogs/wissenswertes has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.smileunion.de/pages/kontakt and https://www.smileunion.de/pages/impressum have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
13 internal pages checked
We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
5 JavaScript errors while loading

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 784 words of copy
The homepage carries about 784 words of visible text.
