What we check
Load time
Largest Contentful Paint, interaction and layout shifts on the smartphone, measured against Google’s thresholds.
Booking path
clicks from entry to payment, page changes, breaks in the design.
Structured data
whether house, rooms, amenities and FAQ are machine-readable.
Technology
redirects, language versions, sitemap, duplicate content, error pages.
What you get
A report with the most important findings in plain language, sorted by impact on bookings. Plus an honest recommendation: small corrections, a new booking path or a new website. Sometimes it is also “leave it as it is”.
An example of a finding
| Area | Finding | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Load time | Cover image of several megabytes, visible late on the smartphone | Visitors leave before they see the house |
| Booking path | Booking opens an external page in a different design | Loss of trust just before completion |
| Structured data | No statements about rooms and amenities | Search systems can assign the house less well |
| Technology | English page without link to the German one | Google shows the wrong language version |
The table is an example of the structure. Your report contains the findings of your website.
What happens afterwards
You decide. Many findings can be fixed by your current agency, and we will say so. If the booking path or the technology is the problem, we discuss in a first conversation which package fits and what it costs.
How to request the check
Send us the address of your website through the contact form and, if you have one, the name of your channel manager. You can read more about the solution behind the check under direct booking website. Why load time costs bookings is explained in the article “Load time and direct booking”.
