Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 636 KiBAbout 636 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 86). 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, nxedge.io and Cookiebot and others), adding 2.5 MB and 705 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 230 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (230 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 108 KiBAbout 108 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
nxedge.io adds 196 ms
196 msnxedge.io costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 231 ms
231 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 231 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 973 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Vimeo adds 29 ms
29 msVimeo costs a phone 29 ms of main-thread work and 658 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.
Improve image delivery
234 KiB2 images could be 234 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
34 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 86 but mobile only 55. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 23 ms
23 msYour server sent the HTML in 23 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.8 s
8.8 sThe first text or image appears after 8.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.5 s
15.5 sYour largest element takes 15.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We are asked all the time, “What does TCA stand for?” and w…”.
Time to Interactive: 15.9 s
15.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.8 s
8.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 126 ms
126 msScripts block the page for only 126 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.017
0.017The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.017, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 110 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 110 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (34), images 720 KiB (16) and fonts 352 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
29 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 29 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
22 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 22 pages on accesstca.com and 6 external pages.

Best practices
3 small tap targets
3 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed

Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/accesstca.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
