Speed

5 to fix63
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.5 s · 932 KiB

    40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (932 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 211 KiB

    About 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    522 KiB

    2 images could be 522 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 281 ms

    281 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 516 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookie-Script.com and Google Analytics and others), adding 546 KiB and 299 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 97 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    5 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 365 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 101 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Notre site Web utilise des cookies pour améliorer l'expérie…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 49 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.43 g of CO₂e: 51.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 48 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 48 requests on a phone: images 655 KiB (28), scripts 569 KiB (9) and fonts 275 KiB (6). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9798
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 93 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: “200+ clients”. 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 1,109 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,109 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 use.design, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
