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
3.0 s104 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Improve image delivery
7.3 MB13 images could be 7.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 183 KiBAbout 183 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 263 ms
263 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 178 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Bootstrap CDN and others), adding 313 KiB and 389 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 648 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 234 ms
234 msYour server sent the HTML in 234 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.
First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sThe first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 10.5 s
10.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sYour largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “13.1 Juta”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.7 s).
Real-user LCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.0 MB in 207 requests
10.0 MBYour homepage downloads 10.0 MB in 207 requests on a phone: images 9.1 MB (15), scripts 629 KiB (85) and stylesheets 226 KiB (103). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 5.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
604 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example AR-bg-home.png at 1,725 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 604 KiB.
14 images in older formats
14 images (7.5 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (4.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.84 g of CO₂e: 341.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (42 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 42 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner 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 banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
130 internal links, 23 external
The homepage links to 130 pages on pnb.com.my and 23 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 109 characters
Your meta description is 109 characters: “Untuk meningkatkan kekayaan ekonomi masyarakat Bumiputera dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia, demi kemakmuran negara”.
Title: 46 characters
Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Laman Utama | Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB)”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.pnb.com.my/ms.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.pnb.com.my/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 https://www.pnb.com.my/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 (2,535 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.pnb.com.my/ms and / all use the title “Laman Utama | Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB)”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.pnb.com.my/ms/kerjaya has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is https://www.pnb.com.my/ms. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
14 pages without an H1
/, https://www.pnb.com.my/en, https://www.pnb.com.my/ms/tinjauan-ms, https://www.pnb.com.my/ms/perumpukan-aset-strategik-ms, https://www.pnb.com.my/ms/pelaburan-ekuiti-awam-ms and https://www.pnb.com.my/ms/pasaran-persendirian-ms and 8 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 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
No linked page is hidden from search

Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 349 words of copy
The homepage carries about 349 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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
2Opening 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.
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.
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 pnb.com.my, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
