smoothly.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. 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, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 976 KiB and 857 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 211 KiB10 images could be 211 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
375 KiBAbout 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
323 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (323 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 256 ms
256 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 184 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.
2,410 HTML elements
The page has 2,410 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 191 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 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
62 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 62 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: 3.6 MB in 308 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 308 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (99), other files 951 KiB (144) and images 602 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (220 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.03 g of CO₂e: 123.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
42 images without alt text
42 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “Smoothly - Vegan Supplementen”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
65 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 65 pages on smoothly.com and 5 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Ontdek Smoothly: dé webshop voor 100% vegan en duurzame voedingssupplementen. Verhoog je energie, versterk je immuunsys…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://nl.smoothly.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://nl.smoothly.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (302 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/collections/products and /collections/new-products all use the title “Products”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
/collections/products, /pages/over-smoothly, /collections/new-products, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/new-collection and /pages/verzenden-retour-smoothly have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/new-products, whose canonical is /collections/products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
8 pages without an H1
/collections/products, /pages/herhaalservice, /pages/over-smoothly, /collections/new-products, /customer_authentication/redirect and /collections/new-collection and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages slow to respond
/products/gut-support-pouch, /collections/new-products, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/new-collection and /pages/verzenden-retour-smoothly took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught Error: Prohibited read from data layer variable: event.”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
82 of 86 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://nl.smoothly.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=nl®ion_country=NL.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (nl.smoothly.com).
Valid certificate (52 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for smoothly.com and is valid for another 52 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://smoothly.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 28 links work
All 28 links checked from your homepage (24 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 3 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 30 days
smoothly.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
DNSSEC is off
smoothly.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 27 years old
27 yearssmoothly.com was registered in Dec 1998 through Key-Systems GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only pki.goog, ssl.com, digicert.com and globalsign.com to issue certificates for smoothly.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
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.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 340 words of copy
The homepage carries about 340 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Shop” and “Contact”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be smoothly.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.google.com include:spf.monta.nl include:mailgun.org ip4:185.104.29.14 ip6:2a06:2ec0:1:0:0:0:0:…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
38 cookies set on arrival
38Opening the homepage sets 38 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
41 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 41 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
