Speed

4 to fix71
  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71 (desktop: 54). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 565 KiB

    About 565 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 156 ms

    156 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, piwik.pro and kc-usercontent.com and others), adding 637 KiB and 239 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    3 images could be 55 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

  • 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: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 519 ms

    519 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 519 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 166 ms to 197 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 183 ms

    183 ms

    Real visitors wait 183 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.

  • Speed Index: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.1 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: 2.0 MB in 86 requests

    2.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 86 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (26), other files 340 KiB (49) and images 224 KiB (7). 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 to fixGoogle 10099
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 52 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • No structured data

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

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Empower Your Campus to Make a Difference.”, “Together, We’re Changing the World” and “How a Simple Swab Saved Alec from AML”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 7 links with vague text

    7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 96 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 96 pages on dkms.org and 9 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 127 characters

    Your meta description is 127 characters: “We provide blood cancer patients with a second chance at life. Learn more about stem cell and bone marrow donation at D…”.

  • Title: 34 characters

    Your title is a healthy 34 characters: “Help Delete Blood Cancer with DKMS”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.dkms.org/sitemap/sitemap-index.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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,575 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (11 KiB, 51 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without an H1

    /faq, /contact, /update-my-details, /careers-at-dkms, /patients and /colleges and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • 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

Google 100100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    33 of 39 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (dkms.org).

  • Valid certificate (143 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for dkms.org and is valid for another 143 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dkms.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

    dkms.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 17 years old

    17 years

    dkms.org was registered in May 2009 through Deutsche Telekom AG. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    dkms.org is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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.

  • 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 960 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 960 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “REGISTER NOW”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Register now” and “Learn more”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a mx include:outboundmail.convio.net include:amazonses.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
