Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.7 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 51). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, Wistia and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.6 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
website-files.com adds 972 ms
972 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 972 ms of main-thread work and 997 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.
Wistia adds 744 ms
744 msWistia costs a phone 744 ms of main-thread work and 433 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 566 ms
566 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 566 ms of main-thread work and 553 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
501 KiB46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (501 KiB).
Facebook adds 287 ms
287 msFacebook costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 220 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.
1,819 HTML elements
The page has 1,819 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 231 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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.
Improve image delivery
148 KiB9 images could be 148 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
38 KiB38 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Time to Interactive: 26.1 s
26.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 7.2 s
7.2 sThe first text or image appears after 7.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.0 s
9.0 sYour largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Recognize, engage, and advance your learners”.
Speed Index: 11.6 s
11.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s
1.3 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 291 ms
291 msReal visitors wait 291 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
26 images without width and height
26 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 287 ms to 329 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 187 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 187 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (81), fonts 697 KiB (12) and images 371 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
661b0755122a164fb64071dd_Logo.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
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 (31 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 31 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 83 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (167 characters)
Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
119 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 119 pages on accredible.com and 18 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Recognize, engage, and advance your learners”.
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Accredible | Digital Badging and Certificate Platform”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebPage.
Open Graph tags complete

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.accredible.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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
3 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 (1,608 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 1 link), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy

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

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://help.accredible.com/.
No Referrer-Policy

Registered until Jan 2027

Content and conversion
No direct contact details
