Speed

8 to fix44
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 657 KiB

    About 657 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 45). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,718 HTML elements

    The page has 3,718 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 711 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 48 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    358 KiB

    11 images could be 358 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (datadoghq-browser-agent.com and Cloudflare), adding 59 KiB and 45 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

  • 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: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 12.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.0 s

    18.0 s

    Your largest element takes 18.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.3 s

    18.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 218 ms

    218 ms

    Real visitors wait 218 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 452 ms

    452 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 452 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 147 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 288 ms

    288 ms

    Real visitors wait 288 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 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 fix64
  • Page weight: 7.3 MB in 184 requests

    7.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 184 requests on a phone: media 4.1 MB (4), scripts 2.0 MB (132) and images 963 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Serena_homepage_tile_Mobile.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.08 g of CO₂e: 249.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fix95
  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and 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. (22 elements).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 90 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9276
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (72 characters)

    Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ro - Weight loss, better sex, fuller hair, improved skin and more online”.

  • Meta description is long (174 characters)

    Your meta description is 174 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 13 links with vague text

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

  • 223 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 223 pages on ro.co and 18 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ro.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://ro.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (1,441 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix69
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /my/home, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /weight-loss/pricing and /weight-loss/insurance use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /weight-loss/pricing has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 93 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 20 small tap targets

    20 of 51 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ro.co/my/home/.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

9 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ro.co).

  • Valid certificate (64 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ro.co and is valid for another 64 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ro.co redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ro.co has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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 1,081 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,081 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Lose weight on GLP-1s Start now” and “New GLP-1 options on Ro Start now”.

  • 32 calls to action

    The homepage has 32 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Start your FREE insurance check” and “Start losing weight”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 67 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo, 1 trust badge and “3,000,000+ members”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:23.251.230.120 ip4:23.251.230.121 include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:sendgrid.net incl…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Mixpanel (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
