One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 442 KiBAbout 442 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. 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 (hsappstatic.net, Shopify and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 752 ms of main-thread time.
hsappstatic.net adds 379 ms
379 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 379 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 282 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,328 HTML elements
The page has 2,328 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
236 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (236 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
Improve image delivery
135 KiB2 images could be 135 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 9.6 s
9.6 sThe first text or image appears after 9.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.6 s
9.6 sYour largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Stay Current. Find the Opportunity. Start the Conversation.”.
Time to Interactive: 15.8 s
15.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.6 s
9.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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: 126 ms
126 msScripts block the page for only 126 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 192 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 192 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (61), other files 736 KiB (90) and stylesheets 173 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
87 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example hero-learning-BeJLPRvI.jpg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 87 KiB.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 84.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
23 text elements with low contrast
23 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
21 links without text
21 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (96 characters)
Your title is 96 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Tax Update CPE for CPAs, CRTPs, EAs and Tax Pros | CountingWorks – CountingWorks Learning…”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Stay Current. Find the Opportunity. Start the Con…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (239 characters)
Your meta description is 239 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
114 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 114 pages on clientwhys.com and 9 external pages.

AI search readiness
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 (2,228 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.taxcpe.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
https://www.taxcpe.com/collections/all, https://www.taxcpe.com/collections/all-products, https://www.taxcpe.com/collections/nano-courses, https://www.taxcpe.com/pages/wishlist, https://www.taxcpe.com/pages/total-practice-solo and https://www.taxcpe.com/pages/total-practice-gold and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 20 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 1,591 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,591 words of visible text.
