mtn.cg website review

8 images could be 6.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 248 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

About 109 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.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, WordPress Site Stats and Ipify and others), adding 189 KiB and 90 ms of main-thread time.

88 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “TOUT EST LÀ”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 238 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Your homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 47 requests on a phone: images 10.1 MB (27), scripts 468 KiB (5) and fonts 246 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.12 g of CO₂e: 374.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 59 pages on mtn.cg and 22 external pages.

There is no https://www.mtn.cg/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.

https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers all use the title “MTN Congo | On fait quoi aujourd'hui ?”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.mtn.cg/business, https://www.mtn.cg/momo, https://www.mtn.cg/about, https://www.mtn.cg/deal, https://www.mtn.cg/deal-types/home-internet and https://www.mtn.cg/deal-types/prepaid-devices and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers, https://www.mtn.cg/momo, https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers/offres-mobiles, https://www.mtn.cg/stores, https://www.mtn.cg/contact and https://www.mtn.cg/MOMO have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers/offres-mobiles, https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers/tarifs-internationaux and https://www.mtn.cg/contact have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

https://www.mtn.cg/particuliers/offres-mobiles and https://www.mtn.cg/contact took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.mtn.cg/wp-content/themes/mtn-vivid-wp/wp-content/themes/mtn-refresh/public/img/svgs/back-arrow.svg.

14 of 30 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

The homepage has only about 126 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

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

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
