Render-blocking requests
4.7 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 223 KiBAbout 223 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 81). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 132 KiBAbout 132 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.
Improve image delivery
497 KiB7 images could be 497 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and WP Engine and others), adding 1.2 MB and 118 ms of main-thread time.
WP Engine adds 0 ms
0 msWP Engine costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 882 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 · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 149 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 149 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (21), scripts 758 KiB (106) and fonts 390 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (32 KiB) is 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (58 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 132.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
Title is short (21 characters)
Your title is only 21 characters: “PRC Group | PRC Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebPage) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
51 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 51 pages on prcgroup.com and 3 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 142 characters
Your meta description is 142 characters: “With more than a half-century of proven success, The PRC Group has redefined Leadership in Commercial and Residential R…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “LATEST NEWS”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.prcgroup.com/.
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.prcgroup.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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://www.prcgroup.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.
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 (334 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcgroup and https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcadmin are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
7 pages without a meta description
https://www.prcgroup.com/about-us, https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcgroup, https://www.prcgroup.com/moving-forward-prc-group-local-officials-working-to-advance-long-awaited-redevelopment-in-hightstown, https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcadmin, https://www.prcgroup.com/realestatenj-prc-circle-squared-unveil-jersey-city-rental-building-at-njcu-led-project and https://www.prcgroup.com/realestatenj-proposed-162-unit-residential-project-in-bayonne-clears-key-hurdle and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages share a meta description
https://www.prcgroup.com/portal and https://www.prcgroup.com/contact-us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcgroup and https://www.prcgroup.com/author/prcadmin have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
https://www.prcgroup.com/portal, https://www.prcgroup.com/contact-us, https://www.prcgroup.com/moving-forward-prc-group-local-officials-working-to-advance-long-awaited-redevelopment-in-hightstown, https://www.prcgroup.com/realestatenj-prc-circle-squared-unveil-jersey-city-rental-building-at-njcu-led-project and https://www.prcgroup.com/realestatenj-proposed-162-unit-residential-project-in-bayonne-clears-key-hurdle have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link

No risk reducer

About 296 words of copy

4 cookies set on arrival

5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
