Speed
Improve image delivery
4.2 s · 2.5 MB8 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (iubenda and Adobe TypeKit), adding 242 KiB and 202 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 15 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 309 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.7 s
10.7 sYour largest element takes 10.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.7 s
10.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.1 s
4.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.1 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: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
home-hero-v2-bg-scaled.jpg weighs 746 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
590 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example home-hero-v2-bg-scaled.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 590 KiB.
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 45 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 45 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (13), scripts 270 KiB (18) and fonts 114 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
home-hero-v2-bg-scaled.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (811 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (440 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 121.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
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.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
49 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 49 pages on recpower.com and 1 external page.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 128 characters
Your meta description is 128 characters: “REC Power is an independent power producer that finances, owns, and operates distributed power systems across the Unite…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Power, on your terms”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://recpower.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://recpower.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
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 (406 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://recpower.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 29 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 pages without a title
https://recpower.com/about/news/adapture-renewables-and-rec-power-announce-completion-of-transaction-for-68-mw-operating-dg-solar-portfolio, https://recpower.com/solutions, https://recpower.com/onsite-solar, https://recpower.com/energy-storage, https://recpower.com/fuel-cells and https://recpower.com/microgrids and 9 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 page without a meta description
https://recpower.com/about/news/adapture-renewables-and-rec-power-announce-completion-of-transaction-for-68-mw-operating-dg-solar-portfolio has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://recpower.com/about-rec-power and https://recpower.com/about use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://recpower.com/about, whose canonical is https://recpower.com/about-rec-power. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page with very little text
https://recpower.com/privacy-policy has 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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 508 words of copy
The homepage carries about 508 words of visible text.
