Speed

10 to fix69
  • Shopify adds 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Shopify costs a phone 4.1 s of main-thread work and 936 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

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

  • Main-thread work: 8.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6,544 HTML elements

    The page has 6,544 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.0 MB and 4.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 732 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    637 KiB

    About 637 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 450 ms

    450 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 450 ms of main-thread work and 687 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

    322 KiB

    12 images could be 322 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    85 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (85 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    51 KiB

    About 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    23 KiB

    23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Server response: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix79
  • Time to Interactive: 22.3 s

    22.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 590 ms

    590 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 590 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Your largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 321 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 321 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (139), images 916 KiB (36) and other files 674 KiB (92). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.6 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

6 to fixGoogle 9193
  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 4 form fields without a label

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

  • ARIA input fields do not have accessible names

    ARIA input fields do not have accessible names (1 element).

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9291

AI search readiness

4 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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,030 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without an H1

    /collections/zubehoer, /collections/lebensbaum-halsketten, /collections/thors-hammer-anhaenger, /collections/anhaenge-aus-loesung, /collections/anhaeng-von-stahl and /collections/zubehoer-aus-bronze-kupfer-und-messing and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /collections/ringe, /collections/haengeoreringe, /collections/halsketten and /collections/halsketten-aus-stahl took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 1,135 words of copy

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 ydale.de, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
