Speed

9 to fix58
  • 3,188 HTML elements

    The page has 3,188 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    15.6 MB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15.6 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, cloudfront.net and Google CDN and others), adding 19.4 MB and 492 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 399 ms

    399 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 399 ms of main-thread work and 18.8 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 unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 191 KiB

    About 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 133 KiB

    About 133 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Google Fonts adds 8 ms

    8 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 8 ms of main-thread work and 592 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    19 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Improve image delivery

    144 KiB

    1 image could be 144 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 719 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix60
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    Your largest element takes 17.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Camp Fire gathering image”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.1 s

    18.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.4 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 276 ms

    276 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 276 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 19.7 MB in 83 requests

    19.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 19.7 MB in 83 requests on a phone: media 15.5 MB (4), images 2.7 MB (16) and fonts 552 KiB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (103 KiB) 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.

  • About 5.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.60 g of CO₂e: 671.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8590
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (57 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 57 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 16 text elements with low contrast

    16 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No page language

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 10072
  • Title is short (29 characters)

    Your title is only 29 characters: “KBC – Kemaman Bitumen Company”. 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.

  • 7 H1 headlines

    There are 7 <h1> headlines (“Creating a BetterConnected World”, “One of a kind, unrivalled Naphthenic Asphalt-prod…” and “Our Story”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Meta description is long (213 characters)

    Your meta description is 213 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 54 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 54 pages on kbc.com.my and 4 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • 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://www.kbc.com.my/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.kbc.com.my/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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (998 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9685
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 7 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 “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 2 distorted images

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 502 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 502 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Learn more about our process >>”, “Learn more about our products >>” and “Learn more about our company >>”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 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). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at kbc.com.my, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
