sobuy.nl website review

Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Trusted Shops and accessibly.app and others), adding 1,021 KiB and 648 ms of main-thread time.

8 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 500 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 531 ms of main-thread work and 719 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 439 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 290 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

The page has 2,583 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 74 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.

15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (76 KiB).

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 50 ms.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 877 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 313 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (121), other files 925 KiB (133) and images 430 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SoBuy | biedt verschillende soorten meubels aan | Modern– SoBuy.NL”.

4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

The homepage links to 201 pages on sobuy.nl and 12 external pages.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

https://www.sobuy.nl/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://www.sobuy.nl/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://www.sobuy.nl/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.sobuy.nl/collections/schoenenkasten, https://www.sobuy.nl/collections/kapstokken-portemanteaux, https://www.sobuy.nl/collections/eetkamerkast, https://www.sobuy.nl/collections/keukenberging-rangement-de-cuisine and https://www.sobuy.nl/collections/eetkamer and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.sobuy.nl/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 95 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

4 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 977 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
