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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

13 to fix37
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.3 s

    47 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 KiB

    8 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 KiB

    About 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

    37/100

    Your 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 ms

    hsappstatic.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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    13 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 ms

    hs-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 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 31 ms

    31 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    Your largest element takes 13.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 29.2 s

    29.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 816 ms

    816 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 816 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 166 ms

    166 ms

    Real visitors wait 166 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.04

    0.04

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.04 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 692 ms

    692 ms

    Real visitors wait 692 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 25% faster for real visitors

    -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

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB in 181 requests

    5.4 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9394
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 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.

  • 307 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 307 pages on class.com and 9 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The virtual classroom for learning & development”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Class: The Next Generation Virtual Classroom | Class”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://www.class.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    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.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /advantages is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 67 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 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

1 to fix92
  • 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 years

    class.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

1 to fix92
  • 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

    The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Download the report”, “Learn more” and “Get a demo”.

  • 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

1 to fix75
  • 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

    2

    Before 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
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
