Speed

12 to fix13
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.5 s · 2.9 MB

    41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.9 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.8 s · 757 KiB

    About 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 MB

    5 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 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 13

    13/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Cookiebot 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    web.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 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 389 ms

    389 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 389 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 29.6 s

    29.6 s

    Your 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 23.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 32.0 s

    32.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 1

    1

    The 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 ms

    Scripts 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).

6 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: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors wait 0.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 109 ms

    109 ms

    Real visitors wait 109 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.6 s

    0.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 295 ms

    295 ms

    Real visitors wait 295 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • 24 images far larger than shown

    16.0 MB

    24 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 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

3 to fixGoogle 9896
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 10080
  • 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

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 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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 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

2 to fix80
  • 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

    10

    Before 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

    21

    Opening 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.
