usecology.com website review

About 293 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 720 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

2 images could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 55 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (34 KiB).

3 third-party services load with your homepage (FontAwesome CDN, Google Fonts and site.com), adding 70 KiB and 13 ms of main-thread time.

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.

Real visitors wait 6.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 4.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 257 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Our nationwide network of treatment, disposal and recycling…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 197 ms to 196 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.22 g of CO₂e: 26.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

9 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

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

Your title is only 17 characters: “Republic Services”. 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.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

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

The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

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

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

A phone browser shows 635 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

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.republicservices.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.

11 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://republicservices.my.site.com/ESWRepublicServicesEmbe1732604657666/assets/styles/bo…”.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 635 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (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 11 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 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
