Speed

11 to fix30
  • Improve image delivery

    29.9 s · 6.1 MB

    13 images could be 6.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 29.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 3.7 MB

    About 3.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.7 s · 545 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (545 KiB).

  • YouTube adds 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    YouTube costs a phone 2.1 s of main-thread work and 5.8 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.7 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 (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Stripe and others), adding 7.0 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 323 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Stripe adds 166 ms

    166 ms

    Stripe costs a phone 166 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.

  • 1,757 HTML elements

    The page has 1,757 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Fonts adds 2 ms

    2 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 2 ms of main-thread work and 321 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

    164 KiB

    About 164 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

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

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 79.0 s

    79.0 s

    Your largest element takes 79.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 40.9 s

    40.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 40.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 98.9 s

    98.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 98.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.23

    0.23

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.23 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 930 ms

    930 ms

    Real visitors wait 930 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 32 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 196 ms to 197 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 177 ms

    177 ms

    Real visitors wait 177 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 23.9 MB in 231 requests

    23.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.9 MB in 231 requests on a phone: images 15.5 MB (71), scripts 7.1 MB (60) and HTML 526 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images over 500 KB

    4 images weigh 2.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (2.5 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

    419 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example EasternCentral.png at 1,800 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 419 KiB.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (696 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 6.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.76 g of CO₂e: 811.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8290
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

1 checks passed
  • 26 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 29 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 26 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9260
  • No meta description

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

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “Creator College”. 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 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://creatorcollege.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://creatorcollege.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 3,414 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://creatorcollege.com/llms.txt (1 KiB, 2 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5483
  • 5 third-party cookies

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

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*) in CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`…”).

  • 1 small tap target

    1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix30
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 3,414 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 3,414 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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, 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.

  • 29 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at creatorcollege.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
