Speed

8 to fix46
  • Render-blocking requests

    7.5 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 640 KiB

    About 640 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 1.2 MB

    85 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 MB

    18 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 328 KiB

    About 328 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 459 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 16 KiB

    16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, cloudflare.com and kore.ai and others), adding 319 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify JavaScript

    55 KiB

    55 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 264 ms

    264 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 264 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Real-user LCP: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Real visitors wait 6.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 6.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Real visitors wait 4.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    Your largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “NBB”.

  • Speed Index: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.0 s

    24.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 127 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 115% slower for real visitors

    +115%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 372 ms

    372 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 372 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 9 images without width and height

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

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 140 ms

    140 ms

    Real visitors wait 140 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 5.2 MB in 105 requests

    5.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 105 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (70), scripts 1.6 MB (12) and stylesheets 146 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 images (789 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.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    230 KiB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example iPhone-15-15-Pro-3-2-1000x1536.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 304 px. Resized copies would save about 230 KiB.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 177.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8488
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (3 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 74 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8570
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (10 characters)

    Your title is only 10 characters: “Home - NBB”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 143 internal links, 29 external

    The homepage links to 143 pages on nbbonline.com and 29 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://nbbonline.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, FinancialService, ImageObject, Organization and Person.

  • 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://nbbonline.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://nbbonline.com/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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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 (1,652 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://nbbonline.com/personal, https://nbbonline.com/campaigns, https://nbbonline.com/personal/al-watani-trade, https://nbbonline.com/personal/wealth, https://nbbonline.com/personal/banking/tharaa and https://nbbonline.com/prestige and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://nbbonline.com/personal/banking/tharaa has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 8885
  • 54 small tap targets

    54 of 84 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 “The Content-Security-Policy directive name 'default-src'self'' contains one or more invalid characters. Only ASCII alph…”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (8 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • About 1,188 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,188 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Give us a call for help” and “Apply for an account with us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 6 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 nbbonline.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
