Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 393 KiBAbout 393 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 346 KiB6 images could be 346 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, bc-solutions.net and Klaviyo and others), adding 847 KiB and 519 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 242 ms
242 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 380 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 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 36 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
36 KiB36 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 788 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s
12.5 sYour 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 image.
Time to Interactive: 12.6 s
12.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 229 ms
229 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 229 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 90 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, 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).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 171 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 171 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (52), other files 773 KiB (95) and images 696 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (55 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (86 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 94.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Page language is “ShopLocaleDr”
The page declares lang=“ShopLocaleD…”, which is not a usable language code, so screen readers and translation tools guess.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Vitus Bikes”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
128 internal links, 19 external

Content and conversion
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.
Only about 105 words
The homepage has only about 105 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
