Speed

10 to fix58
  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 s · 922 KiB

    3 images could be 922 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, klarnacdn.net and neocomapp.com and others), adding 971 KiB and 700 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 248 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (248 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 340 KiB

    About 340 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Usercentrics CMP adds 286 ms

    286 ms

    Usercentrics CMP costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 194 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,929 HTML elements

    The page has 1,929 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • neocomapp.com adds 108 ms

    108 ms

    neocomapp.com costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 402 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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 JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 202 ms

    202 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 202 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    Your largest element takes 9.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “VAUDE als erste Marke zertifiziert! Entdecke Green Shape® j…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 394 ms

    394 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 394 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 92 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user INP: 96 ms

    96 ms

    Real visitors wait 96 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 524 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 130 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 130 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (29), fonts 1,012 KiB (7) and scripts 918 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.11 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.11 g of CO₂e: 133.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8892
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Positive tabindex

    2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 5 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 8582
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Outdoor-Ausrüster für Bekleidung, Rucksäcke & Fahrradtaschen | VAUDE”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 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.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 198 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 198 pages on vaude.com and 18 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

    Your meta description is 134 characters: “Outdoorbekleidung und Ausrüstung von VAUDE online kaufen ✓ Funktional, hochwertig und für lange Nutzung entwickelt ✓ Sc…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “VAUDE Onlineshop: Outdoor-Ausrüstung für deine Zeit draußen”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vaude.com/de/de/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.vaude.com/media/sitemap/sitemap.xml.

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 /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 (997 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 158 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://nachhaltigkeitsbericht.vaude.com/.

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (vaude.com).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for vaude.com and is valid for another 47 days.

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 54 links work

    All 54 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 14 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    vaude.com 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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    vaude.com was registered in Oct 1996 through Deutsche Telekom AG. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    vaude.com is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 595 words of copy

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mail-intern.vaude.com include:spf.tmes.trendmicro.com include:mail-extern.vaude.com include:mail-maxclus…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
