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
Improve image delivery
8.4 s · 4.0 MB12 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 KiBAbout 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 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your 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 KiB12 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 KiBAbout 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 mskaleidousercontent.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 KiBPolyfills 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 msSome 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.

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 LCP: 4.5 s
4.5 sReal 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 sThe 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 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.0 s
10.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal 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 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 419 ms
419 msScripts 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).

Real-user INP: 189 ms
189 msReal visitors wait 189 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For 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
0.086The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.086, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.0 MB in 40 requests
6.0 MBYour 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 MB3 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 gBy 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
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
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
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 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

Content and conversion
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

8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

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.
