Speed

8 to fix68
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 197 KiB

    About 197 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • 5,004 HTML elements

    The page has 5,004 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 57). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 93 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Pinterest and Trust Pilot and others), adding 526 KiB and 529 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 322 ms

    322 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 322 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    321 KiB

    12 images could be 321 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 657 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 205 ms

    205 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 205 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Your largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 56 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 212 ms

    212 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 212 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 135 ms to 123 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 630 ms

    630 ms

    Real visitors wait 630 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% faster for real visitors

    -30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (392 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.5 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: 1.5 MB in 85 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 85 requests on a phone: images 660 KiB (32), scripts 611 KiB (24) and fonts 150 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 6092
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 21 images without alt text

    21 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (237 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 237 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 11 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8586
  • 55 links crawlers can't follow

    55 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • Title is long (107 characters)

    Your title is 107 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Coques personnalisées, batteries externes et accessoires tendances pour smartphones et ta…”.

  • Meta description is long (185 characters)

    Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 743 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 743 pages on thekase.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “le meilleur de l'accessoire mobile et du reconditionné est chez The Kase”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.thekase.com/fr/fr/accueil/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Product.

  • 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 http://www.thekase.com/fr/fr/sitemap_index.xml.

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 /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 (3,409 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix79
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /fr/fr/produits-et-accessoires/apple-iphone-17 is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    /fr/fr/accueil and /fr/fr/resultat-de-votre-recherche all use the title “Coques personnalisées, batteries externes et accessoires tendances po…”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 12 pages share a meta description

    /fr/fr/produits-et-accessoires and /fr/fr/produits-et-accessoires/apple-iphone-17 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /fr/fr/resultat-de-votre-recherche, whose canonical is /fr/fr/accueil. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 191 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 9270
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=17507886&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=098d6b10-9ef0-41fc-ae9a-b8470bd725cf&bo=1&sid=0caad090cdc511f1bc4649084e47d807&vid=0caae1a0cdc511f19ef61703d5d49659&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 26 small tap targets

    26 of 92 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://api.thekase.com/tracker/w/' from origin 'https://www.thekase.com' has been blocked…”.

  • 6 distorted images

    6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix81
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.switchbythekase.com/fr/fr/vendre-mon-smartphone.html (404).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://thekase.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/the_kaseofficial.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (thekase.com).

  • Valid certificate (40 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for thekase.com and is valid for another 40 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://thekase.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    thekase.com 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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    thekase.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 14 years old

    14 years

    thekase.com was registered in Jun 2012 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2028

    thekase.com is registered until Jun 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix30
  • 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 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 1,988 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,988 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    thekase.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • 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: 35/100

    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 ip4:51.254.197.209 ip4:51.254.197.200 ip4:51.254.42.46 ip4:151.106.216.131 ip4:51.77.138.235 ip4:77.32.145.103 …”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Ads and Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 26 cookies set on arrival

    26

    Opening the homepage sets 26 cookies (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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 1.9.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
