Speed
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71 (desktop: 54). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 565 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 KiB3 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 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17 KiB1 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.

Images and page weight
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.56 gBy 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 MBYour 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
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
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

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.dkms.org/sitemap/sitemap-index.xml.
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.
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
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

Security and trust
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 yearsdkms.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
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

Email authentication
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
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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
3Opening 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.
