One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 236 KiBAbout 236 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookie-Script.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 1.1 MB and 627 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 515 ms
515 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 515 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.
website-files.com adds 14 ms
14 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 14 ms of main-thread work and 476 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
150 ms · 98 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (98 KiB).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 185 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 91 but mobile only 65. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Improve image delivery
7 KiB1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Legacy JavaScript
5 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 5 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.2 s
9.2 sYour largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 9.2 s
9.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.7 s
4.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 212 ms
212 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 212 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
68ca7af3d338e147bbd09389_Buble-p-500.avif 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.31 g of CO₂e: 37.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 41 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 41 requests on a phone: scripts 647 KiB (18), images 377 KiB (14) and fonts 56 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
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
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
32 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 32 pages on capslock.ac and 7 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 139 characters
Your meta description is 139 characters: “Train for a cyber security career with CAPSLOCK’s award-winning courses. Gain certifications and expert coaching with n…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Build cyber security capability that protects and performs”.
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “CAPSLOCK | Intensive cyber security training programme”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://capslock.ac/.
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://capslock.ac/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.
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 (661 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/courses/cyber-security/applied-principles and /searchbar have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

9 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 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 550 words of copy
The homepage carries about 550 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Talk to us”.
6 calls to action

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at capslock.ac, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
