Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 722 KiBAbout 722 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 163 KiBAbout 163 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 681 KiB15 images could be 681 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,960 HTML elements
The page has 1,960 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google CDN adds 62 ms
62 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 62 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot and others), adding 719 KiB and 169 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 41 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 132 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s
19.9 sYour largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “SKALLJAKKE PROTEC XTRM 3L 87295 KL3 GUL/SVART”.
Time to Interactive: 20.5 s
20.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.5 s

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
m weighs 510 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
489 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example m at 4,240 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 489 KiB.
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 337 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 337 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (272), images 968 KiB (32) and fonts 562 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (123 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 125.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (5 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
228 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 228 pages on tools.no and 9 external pages.
4 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (676 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (tools.no).
Valid certificate (62 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for tools.no and is valid for another 62 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled

All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
tools.no 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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 26 years old
26 yearstools.no was registered in Nov 1999 through Abion AB. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
DNSSEC is on
tools.no's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.
Content and conversion

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.

The homepage carries about 558 words of visible text.

SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf1.tools.no include:spf2.tools.no include:spf.cm.puzzel.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
