Speed
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 118 KiB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (118 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
310 ms · 38 KiBAbout 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 46 KiB1 image could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,678 HTML elements
The page has 1,678 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, jspm.io and cloudflare.com and others), adding 481 KiB and 88 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 72 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 85 ms
85 msYour server sent the HTML in 85 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 82 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 82 requests on a phone: other files 631 KiB (5), scripts 404 KiB (60) and HTML 206 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “CoderDojo community”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://codeclub.org/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Invalid hreflang
Your hreflang tags are invalid, so Google may show the wrong language version.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
22 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 22 pages on coderdojo.com and 7 external pages.
2 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “CoderDojo is part of the Code Club community”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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
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 (216 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages share 4 titles
/en/run-a-club and /run-a-club all use the title “Run a Code Club in your community | Code Club”, and 3 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
/, /en/join-a-club, /en/run-a-club, /en/learn-to-code, /en/partner-with-us and /resources and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/find has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/find has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (codeclub.org).
Valid certificate (58 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for coderdojo.com and is valid for another 58 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://coderdojo.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 25 links work
All 25 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
codeclub.org 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.
3 checks passed

13 yearscodeclub.org was registered in Sep 2013 through Gandi SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
DNSSEC is on
codeclub.org's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.
Registered until Sep 2029
codeclub.org is registered until Sep 2029.
Content and conversion
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: 2 customer or partner logos. 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 263 words of copy
The homepage carries about 263 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Join a club”, “Start coding” and “Learn more”.

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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
2 checks passed
