Speed

8 to fix59
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 14.1 MB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14.1 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    5.0 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 428 KiB

    About 428 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, website-files.com and elfsight.com and others), adding 15.0 MB and 386 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 119 ms

    119 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 119 ms of main-thread work and 14.4 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 96). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 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.

  • Google CDN adds 126 ms

    126 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 126 ms of main-thread work and 357 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 96 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 411 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Your largest element takes 9.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 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: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 76 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 15.3 MB in 49 requests

    15.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.3 MB in 49 requests on a phone: media 13.9 MB (4), scripts 844 KiB (14) and images 446 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    644be94686329762f3ebd15a_lightangle.svg 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 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.34 g of CO₂e: 520.5 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

5 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 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.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10076
  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “Beyond 12”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Student”, “Powered.” and “"”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.beyond12.org/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 17 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on beyond12.org and 10 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 118 characters

    Your meta description is 118 characters: “We close the economic divide by providing first-generation students with the tools they need to graduate from college.”.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    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.

2 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 (637 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 12 pages share a meta description

    /b12coaching-solutions, /impact, /about-us/mission, /about-us/news-events, /about-us/who-we-are and /join-us/partner and 6 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    /about-us/mission, /about-us/news-events, /about-us/who-we-are, /about-us/financials, /responsible-ai and /b12-blog and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

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.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (beyond12.org).

  • Valid certificate (75 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for beyond12.org and is valid for another 75 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://beyond12.org 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 21 links work

    All 21 links checked from your homepage (15 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    beyond12.org 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

    beyond12.org'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 16 years old

    16 years

    beyond12.org was registered in Jan 2010 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2028

    beyond12.org is registered until Jan 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

  • About 612 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 612 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net include:_spf.salesforce.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
