Speed

11 to fix64
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.6 s · 898 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (898 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 654 KiB

    About 654 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 672 KiB

    5 images could be 672 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.0 s.

  • 3,550 HTML elements

    The page has 3,550 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 116 KiB

    About 116 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Adobe Tag Manager, TrustArc and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 1.2 MB and 220 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 871 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Adobe Scene7 adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Adobe Scene7 costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 916 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.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 89 ms

    89 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 89 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.9 s

    13.9 s

    Your largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 177 ms

    177 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 177 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 46 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 46 requests on a phone: scripts 979 KiB (15), images 921 KiB (12) and fonts 454 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    37 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 4_3+Janice+Stein at 1,440 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 37 KiB.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (317 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 85.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 2 images without alt text

    2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8581
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Investing to make a mark”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 12 links with vague text

    12 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 set, so this is minor.

  • 396 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 396 pages on otpp.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “As one of the largest pension plans in the world, Ontario Teachers' invests strategically across key markets and sector…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.otpp.com/en-ca/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.otpp.com/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.

3 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 (2,123 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://otpp.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 22 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://otpp.com/members/my/en/pages/pension and https://otpp.com/members/my/pages/en-profile all use the title “Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://otpp.com/members/my/en/pages/pension and https://otpp.com/members/my/pages/en-profile use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://otpp.com/en-ca/about-us, https://otpp.com/en-ca/investments, https://otpp.com/members/my, https://otpp.com/en-ca/careers, https://otpp.com/fr-ca and https://otpp.com/members/my/en/pages/pension and 9 others have 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 156 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 6988
  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to execute script from 'https://otpp.com/.rum/@adobe/helix-rum-js@%5E2/dist/micro.js' because its MIME type ('t…”.

  • 1 distorted image

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 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 638 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 638 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Join our Talent Community” and “Start prepping”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (TrustArc) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: TrustArc

    A consent management tool (TrustArc) loads with the page.

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