Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7.8 s · 1.9 MB61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.1 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 363 KiBAbout 363 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 504 KiBAbout 504 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Optanon and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.3 MB and 442 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 279 ms
279 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 279 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
Optanon adds 133 ms
133 msOptanon costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 539 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.
1,728 HTML elements
The page has 1,728 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 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
183 KiB2 images could be 183 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
130 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 36 ms
36 msYour server sent the HTML in 36 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s
12.6 sYour largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Team of Scientists Working Using Microscope”.
Time to Interactive: 21.2 s
21.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s
4.8 sThe first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.2 s
3.2 sReal visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 117 ms to 130 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

0.037The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.037, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 40 ms
40 msScripts block the page for only 40 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 95 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 95 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (36), fonts 1,024 KiB (8) and images 992 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images in older formats
10 images (788 KiB) are 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 far larger than shown
163 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example RCMT-Logo2026-Black-FINAL.png at 4,558 px wide, shown at 64 px. Resized copies would save about 163 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (80 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 137.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 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 (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 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
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
187 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 187 pages on rcmitgroup.com and 8 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,366 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages share a title
https://www.rcmt.com/lifesciences, https://www.rcmt.com/fr/lifesciences and https://www.rcmt.com/sr/lifesciences all use the title “RCM Life Sciences - RCM Technologies”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
