Speed

9 to fix43
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14.4 s · 8.7 MB

    94 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.7 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    7.3 s · 2.2 MB

    46 images could be 2.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 341 KiB

    About 341 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: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Font display

    950 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 950 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and w3schools.com and others), adding 817 KiB and 708 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 644 ms

    644 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 644 ms of main-thread work and 742 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: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix37
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.6 s

    25.6 s

    Your largest element takes 25.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.5 s

    26.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.33

    0.33

    The layout shifts by 0.33 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 307 ms

    307 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 307 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.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 9.9 MB in 106 requests

    9.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 106 requests on a phone: images 8.5 MB (88), scripts 706 KiB (4) and other files 356 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images over 500 KB

    5 images weigh 2.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 23 images in older formats

    23 images (7.7 MB) are 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (922 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.80 g of CO₂e: 336.1 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

5 to fixGoogle 8893
  • 22 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (28 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 28 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 67 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9169
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Witan - Serious & Entertainment games - FinTech - Interim management”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 9 H1 headlines

    There are 9 <h1> headlines (“HIGH TECH”, “& CREATIVE” and “PRODUCTIONS”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.witan.nl/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at witan.nl/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 126 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 126 pages on witan.nl and 0 external pages.

1 checks passed
  • Meta description: 81 characters

    Your meta description is 81 characters: “games, serious, entertainment, fintech, security, production, interim, management”.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://www.witan.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.

1 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css' from origin 'https://www.witan.nl' has been bloc…”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    69 of 69 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix42
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • Only about 111 words

    The homepage has only about 111 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • 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 witan.nl, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
