Speed

11 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 670 KiB

    About 670 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 644 KiB

    9 images could be 644 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 924 ms

    924 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 924 ms of main-thread work and 982 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 372 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (372 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • Facebook adds 275 ms

    275 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 283 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.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 269 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,014 HTML elements

    The page has 2,014 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    70 ms · 32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 70 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 10.3 MB in 375 requests

    10.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.3 MB in 375 requests on a phone: media 4.9 MB (1), scripts 2.0 MB (95) and images 1.6 MB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (144 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 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.93 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.93 g of CO₂e: 351.3 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

7 to fixGoogle 8490
  • 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.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 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 (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail 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.

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 330 internal links, 25 external

    The homepage links to 330 pages on thegarrison.nl and 25 external pages.

8 checks passed

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,459 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://castleson.nl/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://castleson.nl/collections/sale has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 128 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 697 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 697 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Neem contact op”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (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.

  • 30 cookies set on arrival

    30

    Opening the homepage sets 30 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 51 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 51 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 thegarrison.nl, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
