Speed

7 to fix63
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 295 KiB

    About 295 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Webflow, Google Tag Manager and Twitter and others), adding 4.6 MB and 715 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Webflow adds 402 ms

    402 ms

    Webflow costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 4.1 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 106 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (106 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 64 KiB

    About 64 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 16 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    105 KiB

    1 image could be 105 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.

  • 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: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 721 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: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    Your largest element takes 15.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Customized Competency Based Design and Support. Our compete…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 26 images without width and height

    26 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: 122 ms

    122 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 122 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

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 42 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 42 requests on a phone: images 3.9 MB (19), scripts 488 KiB (7) and HTML 114 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (169 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.31 g of CO₂e: 157.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 8587
  • 17 text elements with low contrast

    17 text elements don'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 (42 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 42 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner 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)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • 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 → h6, h4 → h6 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 50 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9177
  • No structured data

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

  • 7 H1 headlines

    There are 7 <h1> headlines (“CBE Solutions”, “CBE Solutions” and “Customized Competency Based Design and Support.”). 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.

  • Meta description is long (422 characters)

    Your meta description is 422 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at cbesolution.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 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.

  • 53 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 53 pages on cbesolution.com and 9 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “CBE Solutions | Equity and Access for Students”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://cbesolution.com/sitemap.xml.

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

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (872 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /free-resources and /under-construction have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /the-shift, /teaching-and-learning-shifts and /student-centered-learning-environments use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9297
  • 9 distorted images

    9 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 3 broken external links

    3 links to other sites are dead, for example https://twitter.com/DjosephCBEcoach?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw (404).

  • No HSTS header

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/making-the-shift-to-competency-based-education/book270688.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (38 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for cbesolution.com and is valid for another 38 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cbesolution.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cbesolution.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

    cbesolution.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 10 years old

    10 years

    cbesolution.com was registered in Feb 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    cbesolution.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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: 50 trust badges. 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 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 498 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 498 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Download Chart” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    cbesolution.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.cbesolution.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
