Speed

9 to fix49
  • Improve image delivery

    6.1 s · 2.7 MB

    19 images could be 2.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 355 KiB

    About 355 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: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Evidon, Google Tag Manager and juicer.io and others), adding 1.2 MB and 497 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 493 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Evidon adds 387 ms

    387 ms

    Evidon costs a phone 387 ms of main-thread work and 62 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.

  • juicer.io adds 29 ms

    29 ms

    juicer.io costs a phone 29 ms of main-thread work and 754 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.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    74 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (74 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify CSS

    14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 661 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 27.8 s

    27.8 s

    Your largest element takes 27.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “As a part of Brookfield’s credit platform, Oaktree’s missio…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.0 s

    28.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

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

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 993 ms

    993 ms

    Real visitors wait 993 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 444 ms

    444 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 444 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 15 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 92 ms to 93 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Real visitors wait 116 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.08

    0.08

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.08 (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: 6.4 MB in 78 requests

    6.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 78 requests on a phone: images 5.4 MB (37), scripts 667 KiB (16) and fonts 239 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (2.2 MB) 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.

  • 15 images below the first screen load straight away

    15 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    299 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 2025_rr_pub_web_530x299.png at 530 px wide, shown at 148 px. Resized copies would save about 299 KiB.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 218.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 7888
  • 5 buttons without a name

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

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Positive tabindex

    1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), 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. (3 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 8574
  • Title is short (26 characters)

    Your title is only 26 characters: “Oaktree Capital Management”. 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.

  • Meta description is long (165 characters)

    Your meta description is 165 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.oaktreecapital.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 76 internal links, 35 external

    The homepage links to 76 pages on oaktreecapital.com and 35 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “As a part of Brookfield’s credit platform, Oaktree’s mission is to deliver superior investment results with the highest…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.oaktreecapital.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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 /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 (919 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix83
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /home 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.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /home all use the title “Oaktree Capital Management”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 8191
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 585 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 585 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • 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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 oaktreecapital.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
