Speed

6 to fix54
  • Render-blocking requests

    5.5 s

    39 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 587 KiB

    About 587 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 900 KiB

    9 images could be 900 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 235 KiB

    About 235 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 74). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google CDN adds 216 ms

    216 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 216 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 768 KiB and 393 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 487 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 36 ms

    36 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 36 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix65
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    Your largest element takes 17.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.7 s

    17.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 images 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 158 ms

    158 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 158 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 98 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 98 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (15), scripts 855 KiB (39) and fonts 444 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    40 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example hex-bg-scaled.jpg at 1,921 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 40 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (230 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.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8291
  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 9 links without text

    9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7777
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Home Page” and “SOPHIA: The future of digital asset management is…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 10 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 59 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 59 pages on rimage.com and 6 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Rimage – On-Demand Digital Publishing”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.rimage.com/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 https://www.rimage.com/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 (1,017 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.rimage.com/publishing-systems, https://www.rimage.com/solutions/sophia, https://www.rimage.com/storage-archiving-solutions, https://www.rimage.com/media-supplies, https://www.rimage.com/markets and https://www.rimage.com/learn and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.rimage.com/data-lifecycle-management, whose canonical is https://www.rimage.com/solutions/data-lifecycle-management. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.rimage.com/publishing-systems, https://www.rimage.com/solutions/sophia, https://www.rimage.com/storage-archiving-solutions, https://www.rimage.com/markets, https://www.rimage.com/learn and https://www.rimage.com/blog and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    https://www.rimage.com/data-lifecycle-management and https://www.rimage.com/publishing-systems/simplex took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v6.7.2/css/all.css?wpfas=true' from origin 'https://w…”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 811 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 811 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn More” and “Get In Touch”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 rimage.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
