Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 126 KiBAbout 126 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 117 KiB6 images could be 117 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,613 HTML elements
The page has 2,613 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 65 ms
65 msShopify costs a phone 65 ms of main-thread work and 399 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.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and shop.app), adding 458 KiB and 80 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).
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
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
front_page_slider_No_3_skull.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 182 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 182 requests on a phone: other files 783 KiB (99), scripts 480 KiB (55) and images 431 KiB (18). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
34 links without text
34 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Every image has alt text
All 52 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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 (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Starborn Europe”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (204 characters)
Your meta description is 204 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
142 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 142 pages on starborn.eu and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Starborn Europe”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.starborn.eu/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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://www.starborn.eu/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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,483 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.starborn.eu/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.starborn.eu/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.starborn.eu/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.starborn.eu/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.starborn.eu/collections/chains, https://www.starborn.eu/collections/sets and https://www.starborn.eu/collections/watches have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.starborn.eu/collections/mens-rings and https://www.starborn.eu/collections/mens-cuff-links use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://www.starborn.eu/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 268 words of copy
The homepage carries about 268 words of visible text.
