Speed

12 to fix33
  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,018 HTML elements

    The page has 4,018 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and New Relic and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    890 ms · 161 KiB

    About 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 890 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 774 ms

    774 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 774 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 MB 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 563 ms

    563 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 563 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 600 ms.

  • Document request latency

    478 KiB

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

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 310 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • New Relic adds 263 ms

    263 ms

    New Relic costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 24 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    188 KiB

    5 images could be 188 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    35 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 46 ms

    46 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “-50% OP GESELECTEERDE ITEMS* Shop nu”.

  • Time to Interactive: 33.6 s

    33.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 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 180 ms to 173 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 186 ms

    186 ms

    Real visitors wait 186 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.5 MB in 336 requests

    6.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 336 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (258), fonts 941 KiB (13) and images 819 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.83 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.83 g of CO₂e: 219.8 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

8 to fixGoogle 8590
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 85 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 614 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 614 pages on veritas.be and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “De nieuwste mode, accessoires & DIY bij Veritas. Van sokken, panty’s, ondergoed tot haakgaren & wol. Gratis retour & op…”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Veritas – Mode, Accessoires, ondergoed & DIY | Veritas België”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.veritas.be/nl_be/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.veritas.be/media/sitemap/sitemap_nl_be.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,602 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 182 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8891
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 38 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 distorted images

    6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (veritas.be).

  • Valid certificate (37 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for veritas.be and is valid for another 37 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://veritas.be redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 50 links work

    All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    veritas.be 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.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 465 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 465 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “-50% OP GESELECTEERDE ITEMS* Shop nu”.

  • 35 calls to action

    The homepage has 35 calls to action, for example “Shop onze producten”, “Shop onze topmerken” and “Shop onze merken”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

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

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:178.208.56.0/24 ip4:84.199.81.64/29 ip4:81.95.113.32/28 ip4:20.50.137.163/32 ip4:212.76.233.208/29 ip4:212.7…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
