Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 334 KiBAbout 334 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, sanity.io and Google Analytics), adding 6.2 MB and 143 ms of main-thread time.
sanity.io adds 0 ms
0 mssanity.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 5.9 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.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 142 KiB2 images could be 142 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 143 ms
143 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s
7.3 sYour largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.3 s
7.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 14 ms
14 msScripts block the page for only 14 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 44 requests
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 44 requests on a phone: media 5.6 MB (1), scripts 756 KiB (24) and images 343 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.92 g of CO₂e: 230.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
36 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on rcslogistics.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “One of the world’s leading logistics providers specializing in international air, ocean and land freight forwarding, an…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Logistics for a Global Economy”.
Title: 46 characters
Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “RCS Logistics - Logistics for a Global Economy”.
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.rcslogistics.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://rcslogistics.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 (387 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://rcslogistics.com/services has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://rcslogistics.com/services is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without an H1
https://rcslogistics.com/contact-us, https://rcslogistics.com/privacy-policy, https://rcslogistics.com/terms-and-conditions and https://rcslogistics.com/services have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
6 pages with very little text
https://rcslogistics.com/locations, https://rcslogistics.com/contact-us, https://rcslogistics.com/locations/north-america, https://rcslogistics.com/locations/latin-america, https://rcslogistics.com/locations/asia and https://rcslogistics.com/locations/europe have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Content and conversion
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 form on the homepage

2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
