Speed

2 to fix70
  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    485 KiB

    13 images could be 485 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 50 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    28 KiB

    About 28 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Shopify), adding 8 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 443 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Your largest element takes 9.8 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: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 133 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 133 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (47), other files 711 KiB (71) and scripts 193 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.5 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

2 to fixGoogle 9196
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    14 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 16 H1 headlines

    There are 16 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “The FF&E Experts”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 30 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 30 pages on rgsevents.com and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “RGS Events supply Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) to the major events industry. Our FFE has been used by the wor…”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “RGS Events - Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) Supplier”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.rgsevents.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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://www.rgsevents.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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 (1,033 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.rgsevents.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.rgsevents.com/blogs/news, https://www.rgsevents.com/pages/contact, https://www.rgsevents.com/policies/privacy-policy and https://www.rgsevents.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.rgsevents.com/pages/contact 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.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 1,017 words of copy

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 75 testimonial or review blocks and 19 customer or partner logos.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

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 rgsevents.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
