Speed

17 to fix19
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5.8 s · 2.2 MB

    98 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.2 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    7.5 s

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.5 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    5.2 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.2 s · 852 KiB

    About 852 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    1.3 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.3 s).

  • Mobile performance score: 19

    19/100

    Your mobile performance score is 19. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,358 HTML elements

    The page has 5,358 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    4.4 MB

    35 images could be 4.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot and others), adding 7.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Document request latency

    600 ms · 355 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive about 600 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Google CDN adds 724 ms

    724 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 724 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.

  • auglio.com adds 23 ms

    23 ms

    auglio.com costs a phone 23 ms of main-thread work and 6.1 MB 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.

  • Reduce initial server response time

    609 ms

    Reduce initial server response time. Google estimates savings of 609 ms on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 479 ms

    479 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 479 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 481 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Server response: 709 ms

    709 ms

    Your server takes 709 ms to send the HTML. Google recommends under 600 ms; everything else waits for it.

  • Minify JavaScript

    95 KiB

    95 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    12 KiB

    12 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.7 s

    16.7 s

    Your largest element takes 16.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 67.5 s

    67.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 67.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.16

    0.16

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.16 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 42% slower for real visitors

    +42%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 175 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.195

    0.195

    The layout shifts by 0.195 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 187 ms

    187 ms

    Real visitors wait 187 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

6 to fix29
  • Page weight: 23.4 MB in 243 requests

    23.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.4 MB in 243 requests on a phone: images 12.9 MB (130), other files 6.3 MB (10) and scripts 1.9 MB (75). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images over 500 KB

    5 images weigh 5.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 40 images in older formats

    40 images (10.9 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.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    zepter-logo-palace-of-art.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    29 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example artmix_pro-box.jpg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 316 px. Resized copies would save about 29 KiB.

  • About 6.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.62 g of CO₂e: 794.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7788
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 66 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 63 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 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.

  • 15 links without text

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

  • 14 form fields without a label

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 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 7768
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “Home - Zepter Shop”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (233 characters)

    Your meta description is 233 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://shop.zepter.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 220 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 220 pages on zepter.com and 17 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://shop.zepter.com/.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Parts of the site are closed to 2 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://shop.zepter.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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,582 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix74
  • 2 pages without a title

    https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Brochure and https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Collection have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Brochure and https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Collection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics and https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Brochure and https://shop.zepter.com/Hyperlight-Optics/Hyperlight-Eyewear/Articles/Hyperlight-Optics-Collection 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 160 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 118 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Manifest: Line: 6, column: 1, Syntax error.”.

  • 3 distorted images

    3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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: 7 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 12-field form

    Your longest form asks for 12 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • About 989 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 989 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Sign up”, “Zepter Partner – Register/Login” and “Register”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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

Security, domain, email and software versions
