Live view · interaction off

Speed

12 to fix32
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.7 s · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.0 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.3 s · 305 KiB

    About 305 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 366 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (366 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Google CDN costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 2.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Minify CSS

    1.2 s · 160 KiB

    160 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32 (desktop: 58). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 3.5 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 MB

    7 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 496 ms

    496 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 496 ms of main-thread work and 697 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

    300 ms · 20 KiB

    20 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 58 but mobile only 32. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 11.5 s

    11.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 11.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 24.3 s

    24.3 s

    Your largest element takes 24.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 33.4 s

    33.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.5 s

    11.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 104 ms

    104 ms

    Real visitors wait 104 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 130 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 130 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (45), images 2.0 MB (36) and other files 721 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    CORE-homepage-hero-Mobile-768x465.png 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 in older formats

    1 image (79 KiB) is 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.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.00 g of CO₂e: 240.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8794
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don'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.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 94 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 94 pages on corelearn.com and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “CORE provides comprehensive math and reading professional learning services to educators so that all students receive h…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Experts in Structured Literacy. Partners in Practice.”.

  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Teacher Professional Learning | Literacy, Math”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

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

  • 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.corelearn.com/wp-sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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 (530 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 6 pages share a meta description

    /service/expressions-the-language-writing-connection and /service/adolescent-literacy-solutions use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

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

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is 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

3 to fix79
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://corelearn.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (corelearn.com).

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for corelearn.com and is valid for another 77 days.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    corelearn.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

    corelearn.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 27 years old

    27 years

    corelearn.com was registered in Aug 1999 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2029

    corelearn.com is registered until Aug 2029.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

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

  • 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 370 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 370 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us” and “Get in Touch”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Get in Touch” and “Start the Conversation”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be corelearn.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:_spf.google.com include:7725331.spf06.hubspo…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
