Web.de looks like Yahoo and MSN had a mid-life crisis in a German discount supermarket. It's a chaotic wall of text trying to sell you 'Handytarife' and lottery tickets while you desperately try to find your actual inbox.
Late-90s portal overload

Loading this page feels like downloading a dial-up connection's worth of tracking pixels, likely because it has to hydrate dozens of ad slots, tracker scripts, and an autoplay video about a desert lynx baby.
Bloated legacy portal payload

Your meta title is 'WEB.DE: E-Mail-Adresse kostenlos, FreeMail & Nachrichten' and your meta description is literally a comma-separated list of random categories from 'Politik' to 'Comics'. It is SEO tactics from the AltaVista era.
Keyword-stuffed meta title

Your primary call to action is 'Sicher & kostenfrei', yet it's surrounded by high-IQ headlines like 'Bloß nicht ins Gefrierfach! So genießen Sie Sekt ganz schnell' and 'Müffelnde Wäsche: Experte erklärt die einfachsten Gegenmittel'. It's not an email service; it's a digital tabloid.
Clickbait dumpster fire
