appliedabc.com website review

39 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.8 s.

Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 110 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 740 ms faster on a phone.

About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

1 image could be 43 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Desktop scores 95 but mobile only 60. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 10.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Helping Your Child Thrive with Tailored ABA Solutions We’re…”.

The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 100 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.5 s 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 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

9 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: 65 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Helping Your Child Thrive with Tailored ABA Solut…”, “GABA 2026 Annual Conference” and “GGC Fall Job and Graduate School Fair”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 51 pages on appliedabc.com and 19 external pages.

There is no /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.

/ and /es all use the title “ABA Therapy for Children & School Support | Applied ABC”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/join-our-team, /patient-referral-2, /our-centers, /home-based-therapy, /social-skills-groups and /summer-aba-therapy and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/join-our-team, /patient-referral-2, /home-based-therapy, /social-skills-groups, /where-we-service and /why-applied-abc and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/social-skills-groups, /blog and /required-documents took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.ggc.edu/about-ggc/events-calendar/fall-job-and-graduate-school-fair (404).

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

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

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

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

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

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

appliedabc.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.

appliedabc.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.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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 501 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be appliedabc.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
