One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

12 to fix36
  • Render-blocking requests

    7.8 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.8 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.0 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    3.8 s · 775 KiB

    About 775 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 651 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (651 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 36

    36/100

    Your mobile performance score is 36 (desktop: 42). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 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 (Google Tag Manager, salespeak.ai and Hubspot and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 632 ms

    632 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 632 ms of main-thread work and 514 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.

  • Document request latency

    484 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • salespeak.ai adds 397 ms

    397 ms

    salespeak.ai costs a phone 397 ms of main-thread work and 559 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.

  • Hubspot adds 203 ms

    203 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 407 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.

  • 2,409 HTML elements

    The page has 2,409 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 83 KiB

    83 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 13.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.4 s

    25.4 s

    Your largest element takes 25.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A blue square note with a white star and the text, "Learn a…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 812 ms

    812 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 812 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 436 ms

    436 ms

    Real visitors wait 436 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 298 ms to 404 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • 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 CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 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: 16.7 MB in 134 requests

    16.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 16.7 MB in 134 requests on a phone: media 11.9 MB (1), scripts 2.6 MB (65) and stylesheets 778 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.75 g of CO₂e: 569.6 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

3 to fixGoogle 8977
  • Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children.

    Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. (1 element).

  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 39 text elements with low contrast

    39 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 7 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 7 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 7 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 193 internal links, 28 external

    The homepage links to 193 pages on amplify.com and 28 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Amplify partners with K–12 teachers to make learning rigorous and riveting for every student. Learn more about our curr…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Helping teachers celebrate and develop student thinking”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Amplify I High-quality K–12 curriculum & assessments I Homepage”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://amplify.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, VideoObject and WebPage.

  • 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://amplify.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (10 KiB, 70 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 2 pages share a title

    /program-filters and /programs all use the title “Amplify | Our programs”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /program-filters and /programs use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /programs, whose canonical is /program-filters. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 74 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://facebook.com/AmplifyEducation.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (amplify.com).

  • Valid certificate (177 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for amplify.com and is valid for another 177 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://amplify.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 56 links work

    All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    amplify.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    amplify.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    amplify.com was registered in Jan 1996 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2028

    amplify.com is registered until Jan 2028.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • 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 146 words

    The homepage has only about 146 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 form on the homepage

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

  • 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
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact Sales”, “Contact Form” and “Shop”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 28 testimonial or review blocks, 2 trust badges and “18,000,000+ students”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:54.86.200.108 ip4:52.6.132.209 include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:_spf.google.com include:_spf.sales…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 44 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 44 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
