Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 420 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (420 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 440 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB7 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 KiB59 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
100 msWeb 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 KiBPolyfills 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 190 requests
3.8 MBYour 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 gBy 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

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

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.

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

Security and trust
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
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
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
2Before 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
5Opening 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.
