robertsoncollege.com website review

A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, TikTok and Salesforce.com and others), adding 698 KiB and 983 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 628 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.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 534 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (522 KiB).

Facebook costs a phone 415 ms of main-thread work and 282 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.

TikTok costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 169 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.

About 40 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.

2 images could be 29 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.

Polyfills for old browsers add 82 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 144 ms to 242 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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

Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 66.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 113 pages on robertsoncollege.com and 10 external pages.

Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.robertsoncollege.com/school/school-of-business, whose canonical is https://www.robertsoncollege.com/school-of-business. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://www.robertsoncollege.com/school/school-of-business and https://www.robertsoncollege.com/school/school-of-health took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://e.acuityplatform.com/p?pk=2510311834962531891&pg=24532.

4 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your longest form asks for 10 fields (8 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 586 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
