Speed

4 to fix72
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    970 ms · 269 KiB

    About 269 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 970 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 101 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and mPulse and others), adding 597 KiB and 301 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    117 KiB

    6 images could be 117 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    111 KiB

    About 111 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 382 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.013

    0.013

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (28 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.33 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.33 g of CO₂e: 39.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 46 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 46 requests on a phone: scripts 563 KiB (10), images 361 KiB (13) and stylesheets 109 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 9 links without text

    9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 53 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 53 pages on rbhinc.ca and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 112 characters

    Your meta description is 112 characters: “Welcome to Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc., where we’re paving the way for a smoke-free future for all Canadians.”.

  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Home | Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.rbhinc.ca/en/home.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage.

  • 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.rbhinc.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.rbhinc.ca/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 (264 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.rbhinc.ca/en/smoke-free-alternatives/role-of-nicotine, https://www.rbhinc.ca/en/news and https://www.rbhinc.ca/en/terms-of-use have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.rbhinc.ca/fr/accueil has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addEventListener')”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 283 words of copy

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions
