rtcquebec.ca website review

About 1,021 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.2 s faster on a phone.

33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (826 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Google CDN costs a phone 613 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 490 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.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 338 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 73 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.

141 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

4 images could be 30 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 6 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.

Your largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Temps réel instable : rétablissement prévu à la fin novembr…”.

The first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 743 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 156 ms to 170 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 59 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (15), other files 418 KiB (7) and images 252 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 102.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Your title is only 13 characters: “Accueil | RTC”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is 300 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 110 pages on rtcquebec.ca and 6 external pages.

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.

There is no https://www.rtcquebec.ca/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.

https://www.rtcquebec.ca/a-propos, https://www.rtcquebec.ca/affaires, https://www.rtcquebec.ca/medias, https://www.rtcquebec.ca/en, https://www.rtcquebec.ca/horaires-et-trajets/horaires-des-bus and https://www.rtcquebec.ca/horaires-et-trajets/horaires-des-bus/tous-les-parcours and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 84 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 591 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 2 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 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
