Speed

10 to fix44
  • Improve image delivery

    8.4 s · 4.0 MB

    12 images could be 4.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.4 s · 829 KiB

    About 829 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 60). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 93 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and canva.com and others), adding 4.7 MB and 202 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    480 ms · 107 KiB

    About 107 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.

  • kaleidousercontent.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    kaleidousercontent.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 4.4 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 434 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms

    Some JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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 LCP: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Real visitors wait 4.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    Your largest element takes 20.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 419 ms

    419 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 419 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.3 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 189 ms

    189 ms

    Real visitors wait 189 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.

  • Tap response (INP) got 46% faster for real visitors

    -46%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 461 ms to 238 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.086

    0.086

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.086, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 6.0 MB in 40 requests

    6.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 40 requests on a phone: images 4.1 MB (17), scripts 1.3 MB (7) and media 417 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    rbg-feature-pages-batch-1-min.png weighs 1.4 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    1.3 MB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rbg-feature-pages-batch-1-min.png at 2,000 px wide, shown at 215 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (2.3 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (600 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.71 g of CO₂e: 205.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fix85
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 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.

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9284
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

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

  • Only 2 internal links

    The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Remove image backgrounds automatically in 5 seconds with just one click. Don't spend hours manually picking pixels. Upl…”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Remove Background from Image for Free – remove.bg”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.remove.bg/.

  • 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://www.remove.bg/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 /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 (358 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    /privacy and /ipc are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /privacy and /ipc have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 internal pages checked

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 2 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8191
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“The `disableRemotePlayback` attribute should be used in order to disable the default Cast integrati…”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix50
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 591 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 591 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “learn more here”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at remove.bg, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
