Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 278 KiBAbout 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 MB29 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
420 ms · 55 KiBAbout 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 ms1 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 msGoogle 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 KiB30 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.

Server response: 185 ms
185 msYour server sent the HTML in 185 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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
0.39For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.39 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.6 s
13.6 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.2 s
6.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.2 s
3.2 sReal 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 msReal 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).

Real-user INP: 107 ms
107 msReal 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 sReal 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 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 90 ms
90 msScripts block the page for only 90 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
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 MB8 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 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.stada.de/sitemap.
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.
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
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.
