Speed

7 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 392 KiB

    About 392 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 71). 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 (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 942 KiB and 623 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 475 ms

    475 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 475 ms of main-thread work and 510 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: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,656 HTML elements

    The page has 1,656 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 67 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 209 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 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: 106 ms

    106 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 106 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix54
  • 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 “We gebruiken cookies om uw browse-ervaring te verbeteren, g…”. Most of its time is element render delay (5.5 s).

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 321 ms

    321 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 321 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 24 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.111

    0.111

    The layout shifts by 0.111 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 111 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 111 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (40), images 788 KiB (31) and HTML 121 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (708 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 72.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9094
  • 22 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 103 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 103 pages on wearenew.nl and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 130 characters

    Your meta description is 130 characters: “Op zoek naar een all-in-one creative agency? We Are New is hét full-service marketingbureau in Veghel — van strategie t…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “NEW. ALL-IN-ONE CREATIVE AGENCY”.

  • Title: 38 characters

    Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “We Are New. All-in-one creative agency”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://wearenew.nl/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://wearenew.nl/sitemap_index.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 https://wearenew.nl/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 (503 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://wearenew.nl/over-ons/creative-playground is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 9 pages without an H1

    https://wearenew.nl/diensten, https://wearenew.nl/diensten/branding, https://wearenew.nl/diensten/campagnes-activaties, https://wearenew.nl/diensten/contentcreatie, https://wearenew.nl/diensten/food-marketing and https://wearenew.nl/ons-werk and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • Direct contact links

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
