thegarrison.de does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 83
83/100Your mobile performance score is 83. 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, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 1.2 MB and 755 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
724 KiBAbout 724 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 289 KiB4 images could be 289 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 478 ms
478 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 478 ms of main-thread work and 788 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.
2,825 HTML elements
The page has 2,825 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
44 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.8 MB in 288 requests
8.8 MBYour homepage downloads 8.8 MB in 288 requests on a phone: media 4.9 MB (1), scripts 1.4 MB (94) and images 1,012 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (203 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 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit
2.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.48 g of CO₂e: 298.1 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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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 (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Klassische Anzügefür Männer mit Charakter!” and “Das sagen unsere Kunden.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (164 characters)
Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
348 internal links, 72 external
The homepage links to 348 pages on thegarrison.de and 72 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 38 characters
Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Stilvolle anzüge für männer mit klasse”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://castleson.de/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
3 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 (2,656 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
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/neue-herrenanzuge, /collections/mix-and-match and /collections/sale-1 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/collections/sale has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
/collections/dreiteiliger-anzug-und-herrenanzuge and /collections/hochzeitsanzuge took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked

Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://thegarrison.de/a/return/tracking (404).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (castleson.de).
Valid certificate (84 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for thegarrison.de and is valid for another 84 days.
Protected from clickjacking

http:// redirects to https
http://thegarrison.de 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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
castleson.de has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
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.
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 623 words of copy
The homepage carries about 623 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “B2B Shop”.
5 short forms

Social proof on the homepage: 35 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be thegarrison.de is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx ip4:46.182.180.0/22 ip6:2a04:e1c0:1::0/64 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ~all”.
