Render-blocking requests
4.6 s47 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.6 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 302 KiBAbout 302 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 283 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (283 KiB).
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 322 KiB14 images could be 322 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 76 KiBAbout 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Optanon adds 93 ms
93 msOptanon costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 740 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 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare), adding 870 KiB and 181 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 95 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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
1 image over 500 KB
PB_2v_IC.png weighs 543 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 125 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 125 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (42), scripts 653 KiB (31) and fonts 157 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (543 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.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Home - Primo Brands”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.primobrands.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 (878 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.primobrands.com/news-stories and https://www.primobrands.com/media-resources use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.primobrands.com/about, whose canonical is https://www.primobrands.com/robbert-rietbroek. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
6 pages without an H1
https://www.primobrands.com/primo-brands-receives-international-bottled-water-associations-2026-environmental-stewardship-award, https://www.primobrands.com/primo-brands-opens-new-mountain-valley-factory-as-demand-grows, https://www.primobrands.com/saratoga-spring-water-steps-beyond-the-bottle-and-onto-the-runway-with-public-school-new-york-collaboration, https://www.primobrands.com/the-mountain-valley-spring-water-to-be-premiere-sponsor-of-hot-springs-documentary-film-festival, https://www.primobrands.com/primo-brands-announces-new-taunton-facility-at-silver-city-business-park and https://www.primobrands.com/primo-brands-replenishes-400-million-gallons-of-water-hits-important-sustainability-water-stewardship-and-circular-packaging-milestones have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.primobrands.com/media-resources has 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.
