Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.3 s47 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.3 s.
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 860 KiB8 images could be 860 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 874 KiBAbout 874 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,523 HTML elements
The page has 4,523 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google CDN and Hubspot and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
hsappstatic.net adds 679 ms
679 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 679 ms of main-thread work and 696 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
450 ms · 146 KiBAbout 146 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 363 ms
363 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 363 ms of main-thread work and 734 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
347 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (347 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 346 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
hs-sites.com adds 123 ms
123 mshs-sites.com costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Speed Index: 9.2 s
9.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 816 ms

-25%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 232 ms to 174 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors
-11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.4 MB in 181 requests
5.4 MBYour homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 181 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (48), images 2.0 MB (54) and fonts 385 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
13 images in older formats
13 images (1.4 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
51 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example GATech-logo-white.png at 2,881 px wide, shown at 137 px. Resized copies would save about 51 KiB.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.54 g of CO₂e: 185.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Interactive controls must not be nested (4 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
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.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 74 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 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (172 characters)
Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,972 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 26 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
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
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.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (class.com).
Valid certificate (51 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for class.com and is valid for another 51 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://class.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
class.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
class.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 31 years old
31 yearsclass.com was registered in Dec 1994 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Dec 2027
class.com is registered until Dec 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,374 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,374 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET A LIVE DEMO”.
17 calls to action

Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 38 testimonial or review blocks, 4 customer or partner logos and “Trusted by 10M+ users”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be class.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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:39930457.spf07.hubspotemail.net -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
24 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
