Render-blocking requests

Reduce unused JavaScript
182 KiBAbout 182 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 167 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (consentmanager.net), adding 134 KiB and 149 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
55 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (55 KiB).
Improve image delivery
47 KiB3 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed

1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 877 KiB (24), scripts 663 KiB (31) and other files 188 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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.

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 (189 characters)
Your meta description is 189 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 X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
144 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 144 pages on vaillant.at and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Die ersten Wärmepumpen, die einfach überall stehen können.”.

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://www.vaillant.at/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 (1,048 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
