Speed

10 to fix28
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 13.1 MB

    About 13.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 3.5 MB

    26 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 873 KiB

    47 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (873 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.6 s of main-thread work and 1.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 28

    28/100

    Your mobile performance score is 28 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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, ventrata.com and Facebook and others), adding 2.9 MB and 3.6 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 459 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • ventrata.com adds 275 ms

    275 ms

    ventrata.com costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 366 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 39 KiB

    About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 54 but mobile only 28. 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 76 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix36
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.9 s

    22.9 s

    Your largest element takes 22.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FAMILY FUN PACKS ADMISSION + CHICK-FIL-A Make family memori…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.2 s

    41.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 32 images without width and height

    32 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 8.5 MB in 251 requests

    8.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 251 requests on a phone: images 4.9 MB (88), scripts 3.2 MB (93) and fonts 244 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 18 images below the first screen load straight away

    18 images further down the page (2.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (1.1 MB) 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    18 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example peachbowllogo.png at 400 px wide, shown at 118 px. Resized copies would save about 18 KiB.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.40 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.40 g of CO₂e: 287.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9794
  • Interactive controls must not be nested (11 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 50 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • Title is long (77 characters)

    Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Hall of Fame Exhibit | Atlanta Fan Attraction | College Football Hall of Fame”.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“FAMILY FUN PACKS”, “BATTLE OF THE BANDS” and “Sightseeing in Atlanta?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://cfbhall.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 75 internal links, 29 external

    The homepage links to 75 pages on cfbhall.com and 29 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Welcome to the official site for the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA. Visit us today or learn …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cfbhall.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: LocalBusiness, Museum and TouristAttraction.

  • 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
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (1,201 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /space-closure, /membership, /hall-of-fame, /partners and /experience have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /about/hours-information, whose canonical is /visit/hours-information. 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 50 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://tickets.cfbhall.com/events/0b5b1565-9012-4d77-78c8-cf87f56bb173 (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://www.cfbhall.com/all-access/.

  • 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 (cfbhall.com).

  • Valid certificate (144 days left)

    The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for cfbhall.com and is valid for another 144 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cfbhall.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

    cfbhall.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 14 years old

    14 years

    cfbhall.com was registered in Sep 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    cfbhall.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 1,501 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,501 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

9 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “View Schedule” and “LEARN MORE”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “View Schedule”, “Tickets & Pricing” and “Learn More”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks, 21 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cfbhall.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 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.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
