Speed

8 to fix66
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 420 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (420 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 440 KiB

    About 440 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 265 KiB

    About 265 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 197 KiB

    7 images could be 197 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,124 HTML elements

    The page has 2,124 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 897 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Reviews.io, trbo.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 927 KiB and 350 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 59 KiB

    59 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 124 ms

    124 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 124 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Ze 2611 buehne neue kollektoin mobil”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.2 s

    17.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 52% slower for real visitors

    +52%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 184 ms to 292 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

  • 11 images without width and height

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

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 186 ms

    186 ms

    Real visitors wait 186 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.06 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 17% faster for real visitors

    -17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.056

    0.056

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.056, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 94 ms

    94 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 94 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 190 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 190 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (114), images 1.2 MB (42) and other files 650 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (377 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 130.0 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

2 to fixGoogle 9798
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 39 links without text

    39 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. (9 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 70 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10086
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Structured data has 1 problem

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

  • 202 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 202 pages on zero.de and 4 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “Damenmode & Accessoires von zero: Für Freizeit, Business & festliche Styles ✓ Aktuelle Trends ✓ Hohe Qualität ✓ Jetzt o…”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Damenmode online kaufen | zero”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://zero.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://zero.de/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (0 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, 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 /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

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /herren has 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 78 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://zero.de/.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (zero.de).

  • Valid certificate (63 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for zero.de and is valid for another 63 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://zero.de redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    zero.de has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • Only about 116 words

    The homepage has only about 116 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop by Look” and “Shop the Look”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

1 to fix50
  • No DMARC policy

    zero.de has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 50/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a:admin.zero.de include:_spf_ip4.zero.de include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spfv4.sosafe.de include:spfv…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) 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).

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

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