Speed

11 to fix43
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 606 KiB

    About 606 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • audioeye.com adds 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    audioeye.com costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 304 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye.com, Google Tag Manager and osano.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 162 KiB

    5 images could be 162 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 637 ms

    637 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 637 ms of main-thread work and 928 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 88 KiB

    About 88 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • osano.com adds 384 ms

    384 ms

    osano.com costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 100 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 50 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 43. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 30.8 s

    30.8 s

    Your largest element takes 30.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 17.3 s

    17.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 34.4 s

    34.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 496 ms

    496 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 496 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 38 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 775 ms

    775 ms

    Real visitors wait 775 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% faster for real visitors

    -18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.4 MB in 125 requests

    8.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.4 MB in 125 requests on a phone: images 5.5 MB (41), scripts 1.8 MB (45) and other files 630 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (129 KiB) are 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (144 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.38 g of CO₂e: 285.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9692
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 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.

  • 15 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10085
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is long (162 characters)

    Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 71 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 71 pages on tantor.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Recorded Books | The Original Audiobook Publisher”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://rbmediaglobal.com/tantor/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://rbmediaglobal.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (853 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://rbmediaglobal.com/llms.txt (160 KiB, 364 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 8 pages without an H1

    /, https://rbmediaglobal.com/audio-brands, https://rbmediaglobal.com/distribution, https://rbmediaglobal.com/why-rbmedia, https://rbmediaglobal.com/company and https://rbmediaglobal.com/contact and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    / has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 11 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix56
  • No call to action on the first screen

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

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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.

  • Only about 205 words

    The homepage has only about 205 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “CONTACT US” and “JOIN OUR NETWORK”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Osano

    A consent management tool (Osano) loads with the page.
