Speed

9 to fix60
  • Improve image delivery

    6.3 s · 2.5 MB

    8 images could be 2.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 687 KiB

    About 687 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Google Fonts and others), adding 1.1 MB and 815 ms of main-thread time.

  • YouTube adds 795 ms

    795 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 795 ms of main-thread work and 1,019 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    420 ms · 109 KiB

    109 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 299 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    120 ms · 147 KiB

    About 147 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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 CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.8 s

    10.8 s

    Your largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “thumbsup”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.5 s

    17.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 221 ms

    221 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 221 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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: 0.033

    0.033

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.033, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix38
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 80 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 80 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (10), scripts 1.2 MB (23) and stylesheets 166 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (1.9 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Thumbsup-rptk2pip3bkzlst5mddb29fs0vtt22hm3qfq9fedd8.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (412 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 149.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9598
  • 19 text elements with low contrast

    19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 2 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 8581
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • 51 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on computercore.org and 8 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Access the technology, skills & resources needed to thrive.”.

  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Computer CORE – Building Careers and Community”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.computercore.org/.

  • 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.computercore.org/wp-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (516 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /get-involved/contribute, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 6 pages without a meta description

    /about/about-us, /about/ourstaff_ourvolunteers, /about/our-boards, /learn, /get-involved/volunteer-now and /get-involved/donate-computers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages slow to respond

    /about/about-us, /about/ourstaff_ourvolunteers, /about/our-boards, /learn, /get-involved/volunteer-now and /get-involved/donate-computers took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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

2 to fix86
  • 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 http://weblink.donorperfect.com/computercore_donate.

  • 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 (computercore.org).

  • Valid certificate (57 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for computercore.org and is valid for another 57 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://computercore.org redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 22 links work

    All 22 links checked from your homepage (16 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 6 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    computercore.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    computercore.org'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 26 years old

    26 years

    computercore.org was registered in Feb 2000 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2028

    computercore.org is registered until Feb 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 457 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 457 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Join Mailing List”, “Learn more” and “Learn More -->”.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    computercore.org has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 40/100

    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.

1 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.protection.outlook.com include:ccsend.com include:constantcontact.com include:confirmedcc.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
