Speed

9 to fix51
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.1 s · 1.6 MB

    56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 476 KiB

    About 476 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 s · 223 KiB

    About 223 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and ZenDesk and others), adding 899 KiB and 820 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 51 KiB

    51 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 49 KiB

    49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 282 ms

    282 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 283 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 213 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    145 KiB

    7 images could be 145 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 670 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “No matter what you drink, drink Royal Cup. Your favorite co…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 345 ms

    345 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 345 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 81 ms

    81 ms

    Real visitors wait 81 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 566 ms

    566 ms

    Real visitors wait 566 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 fix60
  • Page weight: 13.4 MB in 72 requests

    13.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.4 MB in 72 requests on a phone: media 11.8 MB (1), scripts 949 KiB (20) and images 407 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    53 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example sca-logo.png at 1,104 px wide, shown at 246 px. Resized copies would save about 53 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (96 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (96 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.80 g of CO₂e: 455.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7685
  • 10 tap targets too small

    10 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.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 9 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (39 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 39 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 10 links without text

    10 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.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8582
  • Title is short (23 characters)

    Your title is only 23 characters: “Home | Royal Cup Coffee”. 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.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“No matter what you drink, drink Royal Cup.” and “Hear Our Story”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 70 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 70 pages on royalcupcoffee.com and 16 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 116 characters

    Your meta description is 116 characters: “Royal Cup is a major importer and roaster of specialty coffees and fine teas with a nationwide distribution network.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.royalcupcoffee.com/frontpage.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.royalcupcoffee.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.royalcupcoffee.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 (768 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.royalcupcoffee.com/careers, https://www.royalcupcoffee.com/locations and https://www.royalcupcoffee.com/brands/prideland have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.royalcupcoffee.com/brands/prideland took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 16 small tap targets

    16 of 75 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 425 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 425 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: “CONTACT US” and “Learn More”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop/Login” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 royalcupcoffee.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
