Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.6 s · 216 KiBAbout 216 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 13.3 MB9 images could be 13.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 387 KiBAbout 387 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Facebook and others), adding 983 KiB and 787 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 483 ms
483 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 483 ms of main-thread work and 495 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 842 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 113 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (113 KiB).
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 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 · 10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 FCP: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Our goal is to enable our customers to become the most succ…”.
Time to Interactive: 14.9 s
14.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.6 s
3.6 sReal visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s
1.5 sReal visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 368 ms
368 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 368 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 130 ms
130 msReal visitors wait 130 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.05
0.05For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 15% faster for real visitors
-15%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.049
0.049The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.049, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 34.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images far larger than shown
33.2 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rs3834_farrowing-smiling-piglet-2-1.jpg at 5,760 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 33.2 MB.
Page weight: 15.1 MB in 127 requests
15.1 MBYour homepage downloads 15.1 MB in 127 requests on a phone: images 13.7 MB (48), scripts 940 KiB (19) and stylesheets 239 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (34.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (34.3 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.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.28 g of CO₂e: 513.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
9 form fields without a label
9 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 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: 45 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (24 characters)
Your title is only 24 characters: “Home - PIC North America”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (305 characters)
Your meta description is 305 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
35 internal links, 53 external
The homepage links to 35 pages on pic.com and 53 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Our goal is to enable our customers to become the most successful pork producers in the world.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.pic.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.pic.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
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 (449 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/in-the-news and /category/in-the-news all use the title “In the News - PIC North America”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
12 pages without a meta description
/pic-prrs-resistant-pig, /technical-support, /supply-chain, /health-assurance, /pic-proselect and /employee-training-resources and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

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

Content and conversion
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 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 367 words of copy
The homepage carries about 367 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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 pic.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
