Reduce unused JavaScript
970 ms · 269 KiBAbout 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
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

5 third-party services on the page

Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills 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.

Reduce unused CSS
111 KiBAbout 111 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread

About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.33 gBy 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

1.1 MBYour 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
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

SEO
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.

AI search readiness

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
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.
