Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 871 KiBAbout 871 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.0 MB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.0 MB).
Improve image delivery
5.1 MB13 images could be 5.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, userway.org and secureprivacy.ai and others), adding 7.1 MB and 838 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 627 ms
627 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 627 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Azure Web Services adds 0 ms
0 msAzure Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 6.0 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
100 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 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

Largest Contentful Paint: 7.1 s
7.1 sYour largest element takes 7.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE WORLD'S HARDEST WORKING HELICOPTER”.
Speed Index: 10.3 s
10.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 612 ms

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.1 MB in 164 requests
16.1 MBYour homepage downloads 16.1 MB in 164 requests on a phone: images 6.5 MB (22), media 6.0 MB (3) and scripts 1.7 MB (55). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 4.6 g of CO₂ per visit
4.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.56 g of CO₂e: 547.7 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
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (2 elements)
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “Robinson Helicopter Company”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is short (38 characters)
Your meta description is only 38 characters: “The world’s hardest working helicopter”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
14 links with vague text
14 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
71 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on robinsonheli.com and 17 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.robinsonheli.com/.
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.robinsonheli.com/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 https://www.robinsonheli.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 (631 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
13 pages share a meta description
https://www.robinsonheli.com/publications, https://www.robinsonheli.com/dealers-and-service-centers, https://www.robinsonheli.com/media, https://www.robinsonheli.com/about, https://www.robinsonheli.com/helicopters and https://www.robinsonheli.com/trade-in and 5 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
6 pages without an H1
https://www.robinsonheli.com/dealers-and-service-centers, https://www.robinsonheli.com/media, https://www.robinsonheli.com/about, https://www.robinsonheli.com/configurator, https://www.robinsonheli.com/helicopters and https://www.robinsonheli.com/trade-in have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
30 of 30 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 486 words of copy
The homepage carries about 486 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP” and “Shop Now”.
20 calls to action
The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn more” and “Learn More”.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 robinsonheli.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
