Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 731 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (731 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.4 s.
Minify JavaScript
1.1 s · 209 KiB209 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Mobile performance score: 30
30/100Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 51). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.5 s
A phone's processor spends 8.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.3 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 (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Optimizely and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
842 KiB5 images could be 842 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 504 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 352 ms
352 msFacebook costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 275 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 265 ms
265 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 471 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.
Optimizely adds 263 ms
263 msOptimizely costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 227 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.
Ada adds 121 ms
121 msAda costs a phone 121 ms of main-thread work and 347 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
48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
35 KiBAbout 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
13 KiB13 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.

Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 189 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
6 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 118 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 118 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (49), images 1.2 MB (25) and fonts 513 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (116 characters)
Your title is 116 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Take State Approved Online License, Certification and Continuing Ed for Driving, Real Est…”.
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
24 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 24 pages on aceable.com and 18 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Earn your license or certification online”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.aceable.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: EducationalOrganization, VideoObject, 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://www.aceable.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (480 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 18 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/support has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/blog/aceable-2025-growth-playbook is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
/support has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/support has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No Referrer-Policy

No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
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

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.
No risk reducer
