Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 1.6 MB56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 476 KiBAbout 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 s27 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 KiBAbout 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
51/100Your 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 KiB51 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 49 KiB49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Google Tag Manager adds 282 ms
282 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB7 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.4 MB in 72 requests
13.4 MBYour 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 KiB1 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 gBy 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 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
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
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
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.

Content and conversion
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”.

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

5Before 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
5Opening 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.
