Speed

6 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • 3,207 HTML elements

    The page has 3,207 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 192 KiB

    About 192 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    250 ms · 349 KiB

    13 images could be 349 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 68 KiB

    About 68 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    21 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Cookiebot), adding 163 KiB and 65 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    33 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 354 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 103 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 101 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 101 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (53), scripts 764 KiB (26) and fonts 317 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (289 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.6 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

3 to fixGoogle 9495
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

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

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 58 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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

3 to fixGoogle 9287
  • Title is long (110 characters)

    Your title is 110 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Westfalen-Gruppe: Experte für Gase, Wärme und Kälte sowie für zukunftsfähige Mobilität - …”.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 258 internal links, 24 external

    The homepage links to 258 pages on westfalen.com and 24 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Seit 100 Jahren kümmern wir uns um die Bedürfnisse unserer Kundinnen und Kunden und sorgen für einen sicheren Einsatz v…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Wir sind Experten für Gase, Wärme und Kälte sowie für zukunftsfähige Mobilität.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://westfalen.com/de/de.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://westfalen.com/de/de/?sitemap=pages&type=1533906435&cHash=3efe698173865c1e384403eb6f20357b.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://westfalen.com/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 (1,328 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://westfalen.com/de/de and / all use the title “Westfalen-Gruppe: Experte für Gase, Wärme und Kälte sowie für zukunft…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    / and https://westfalen.com/at/de use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is https://westfalen.com/de/de. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 161 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://analytics.google.com/g/collect?a=adblocker_check' violates the following Content Security Policy…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    55 of 61 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 1,119 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,119 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Zum Download-Bereich”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Bistro & Shop” and “Zum Download-Bereich”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at westfalen.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
