One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 661 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (661 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 316 ms
316 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 316 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, jQuery CDN and Google Analytics and others), adding 454 KiB and 376 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 201 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
186 KiBAbout 186 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 386 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 6.2 s
6.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FAMILY FRIENDLY FULL SERVICE FINANCIAL ADVISORY”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.8 s).
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 150 ms
150 msScripts block the page for only 150 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.022

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.31 g of CO₂e: 37.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 28 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 28 requests on a phone: images 515 KiB (8), scripts 487 KiB (9) and fonts 75 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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.

SEO
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at kbh.ca/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
32 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 32 pages on kbh.ca and 9 external pages.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.kbh.ca/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.
3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (363 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.kbh.ca/resource-library has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages slow to respond
https://www.kbh.ca/business-advisory, https://www.kbh.ca/tax-advisory, https://www.kbh.ca/wealth-planning and https://www.kbh.ca/resource-library took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 353 words of copy
The homepage carries about 353 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

4 cookies set on arrival
