Speed

7 to fix69
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 278 KiB

    About 278 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 MB

    29 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    420 ms · 55 KiB

    About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 274 ms

    274 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 274 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 684 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics CMP and YouTube and others), adding 591 KiB and 404 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    187 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (187 KiB).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    53 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 185 ms

    185 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 185 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.39

    0.39

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.39 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    Your largest element takes 13.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 968 ms

    968 ms

    Real visitors wait 968 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 35 images without width and height

    35 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 111 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 107 ms

    107 ms

    Real visitors wait 107 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 90 ms

    90 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 90 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    15626053-h1.png weighs 931 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 8 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 15626053-h1.png at 1,500 px wide, shown at 156 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 77 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 77 requests on a phone: images 3.0 MB (38), scripts 696 KiB (22) and fonts 71 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 24 images below the first screen load straight away

    24 images further down the page (2.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (234 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.10 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 9190
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    34 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 12 links without text

    12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • Title is short (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “STADA Deutschland | STADA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 125 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 125 pages on stada.de and 19 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “STADA ist ein führender Hersteller hochwertiger Arzneimittel. Mit unseren Produkten unterstützen wir Menschen dabei, ge…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Nachhaltigkeitsbericht”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.stada.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.stada.de/sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.stada.de/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (822 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.stada.de/produkte and https://www.stada.de/kontakt have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 4 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    42 of 45 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • 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 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 732 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 732 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

    A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at stada.de, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
