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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7.5 s · 2.9 MB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.9 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 757 KiBAbout 757 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
3.8 s · 1.1 MB5 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 13
13/100Your mobile performance score is 13 (desktop: 21). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.2 s
A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 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, Cookiebot and Facebook and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 753 ms
753 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 753 ms of main-thread work and 953 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.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 382 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Cookiebot adds 350 ms
350 msCookiebot costs a phone 350 ms of main-thread work and 31 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
web.app adds 124 ms
124 msweb.app costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
Document request latency
82 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 389 ms
389 msYour server sent the HTML in 389 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 29.6 s
29.6 sYour largest element takes 29.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero media mobile”.
Speed Index: 23.8 s
23.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 23.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 32.0 s
32.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 32.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sThe first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 1
1The layout shifts by 1 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 725 ms
725 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 725 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
21 images without width and height
21 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.7 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
24 images far larger than shown
16.0 MB24 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example emptyname-180.jpg at 5,300 px wide, shown at 302 px. Resized copies would save about 16.0 MB.
8 images over 500 KB
8 images weigh 12.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 155 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 155 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (49), scripts 1.9 MB (41) and HTML 132 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
27 images in older formats
27 images (18.2 MB) 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.
27 images below the first screen load straight away
27 images further down the page (17.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.43 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 172.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 35 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (197 characters)
Your meta description is 197 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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 XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://thewell.no/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at thewell.no/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
101 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 101 pages on thewell.no and 14 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Høsten nytes best på spa”.
Title: 63 characters
Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “The Well - Nordens største spa og spahotell nær Oslo | The Well”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thewell.no/.
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://thewell.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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,121 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without an H1
https://thewell.no/behandlinger/ansiktsbehandlinger and https://thewell.no/behandlinger/massasje have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 54 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=26006448&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=2518de9b-949d-4ff6-ad3f-10a077de32e2&bo=2&sid=c7c91bc0cd3111f1b27cc1645495bf8f&vid=c7c97ff0cd3111f19e7cb9d0fce4f212&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
5 JavaScript errors while loading
5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. 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 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 844 words of copy
The homepage carries about 844 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book” and “Book spa”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Book”, “Book spa” and “Book hotell”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
10 trackers load before any consent
10Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
42 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 42 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
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 thewell.no, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
