Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 171 KiB2 images could be 171 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (myrealpage.com, Mapbox and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 2.7 MB and 336 ms of main-thread time.
myrealpage.com adds 215 ms
215 msmyrealpage.com costs a phone 215 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 104 KiBAbout 104 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 230 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
unsplash.com adds 0 ms
0 msunsplash.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.

Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (50 KiB).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
favicon_for_gssi_fa.png weighs 1,014 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
3 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example favicon_for_gssi_fa.png at 1,024 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 103 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 103 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (62), scripts 484 KiB (20) and fonts 317 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (1.4 MB) 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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (353 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 96.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Links look like plain text
4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), 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 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (80 characters)
Your title is 80 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Calgary REALTORS® Directory | Verified REALTOR® Referral & Neighbourhood Experts”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Calgary Real Estate Agents& Neighbourhood Experts” and “Calgary REALTORS® – Neighbourhood Experts”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (203 characters)
Your meta description is 203 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.real-estate-homes.ca/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to 69 pages on remaxcentral.ab.ca and 9 external pages.

AI search readiness

3 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

Text is in the HTML
