Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (99 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.

1 image further down the page (99 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 31.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 8 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 long (76 characters)
Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Security Screening, Threat Detection, and Metal Detectors | Rapiscan Systems”.
23 links crawlers can't follow
23 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at rapiscansystems.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
96 internal links, 51 external
The homepage links to 96 pages on rapiscansystems.com and 51 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 154 characters
Your meta description is 154 characters: “Rapiscan Systems manufactures security equipment and systems designed for checkpoints, cargo, vehicle, baggage, parcel,…”.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.rapiscansystems.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.
3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (610 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.rapiscansystems.com/learning-academy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
