Speed

8 to fix52
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.0 s · 579 KiB

    About 579 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google CDN adds 680 ms

    680 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 680 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 102 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (102 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 108 KiB

    7 images could be 108 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 176 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 77 but mobile only 52. 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 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: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    Your largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Your Privacy Choices We use cookies and similar technologie…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.7 s

    11.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 286 ms

    286 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 286 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 68 ms

    68 ms

    Real visitors wait 68 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 82 ms to 75 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01

    0.01

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 58 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 58 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (15), images 420 KiB (24) and other files 355 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (51 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 below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (21 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 82.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7485
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    3 dropdowns have no label.

  • 6 tap targets too small

    6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (63 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 63 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 18 links without text

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

  • 9 form fields without a label

    9 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8381
  • Title is long (75 characters)

    Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Home - 401k Consolidation, Auto Portability and Automatic Rollover Programs”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 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.

  • 137 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 137 pages on rch1.com and 21 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 128 characters

    Your meta description is 128 characters: “Retirement Clearinghouse moves retirement savings forward with auto portability, a fiduciary-friendly automatic rollove…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Moving Retirement Forward”.

  • 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://rch1.com/storage/sitemap/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://rch1.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 (923 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    / and https://rch1.com/home-page all use the title “Home - 401k Consolidation, Auto Portability and Automatic Rollover Pr…”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://rch1.com/auto-portability and https://rch1.com/auto-portability/auto-portability-overview use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 78 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    52 of 59 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 681 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 681 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Learn More About Missing Participants”, “Contact Us” and “Contact RCH”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
