Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
18.4 s · 16.0 MB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16.0 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.8 s · 13.1 MB13 images could be 13.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
15.9 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 15.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.8 s · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.8 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
3.5 s · 529 KiBAbout 529 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 25
25/100Your mobile performance score is 25 (desktop: 6). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Adobe Tag Manager and Basis and others), adding 819 KiB and 679 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 536 ms
536 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 536 ms of main-thread work and 616 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
300 ms · 79 KiB79 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 306 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Document request latency
2 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 CLS: 1.12
1.12For real visitors the layout shifts by 1.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 23.2 s
23.2 sThe first text or image appears after 23.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 29.9 s
29.9 sYour largest element takes 29.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.
Speed Index: 23.2 s
23.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 23.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 30.1 s
30.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 30.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.776
0.776The layout shifts by 0.776 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user LCP: 3.5 s
3.5 sReal visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.3 s
2.3 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 309 ms
309 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 309 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 checks passed
Real-user INP: 111 ms
111 msReal visitors wait 111 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 761 ms
761 msReal visitors wait 761 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 12% faster for real visitors
-12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.9 MB in 98 requests
16.9 MBYour homepage downloads 16.9 MB in 98 requests on a phone: images 13.3 MB (34), scripts 2.7 MB (11) and stylesheets 536 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 7.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
4.4 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 01 A&LL Spring 26 1080x1350 (1).png at 1,080 px wide, shown at 100 px. Resized copies would save about 4.4 MB.
9 images in older formats
9 images (8.1 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (7.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.8 g of CO₂ per visit
4.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.80 g of CO₂e: 575.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (13 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
6 buttons without a name
6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (4 elements)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
21 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 21 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (20 characters)
Your title is only 20 characters: “Dallas Museum of Art”. 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 canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
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.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 119 characters
Your meta description is 119 characters: “The DMA is one of the largest art museums in America, located in the nation's largest arts district in downtown Dallas.”.
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://dma.org/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 326 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.
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.
1 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.
Best practices
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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 (dma.org).
Valid certificate (73 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for dma.org and is valid for another 73 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://dma.org redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 44 days
dma.org is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
dma.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
dma.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 31 years old
31 yearsdma.org was registered in Dec 1994 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 326 words of copy
The homepage carries about 326 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Join now or renew”.
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 include:spf0.dma.org ip4:4.19.57.174 ip4:4.19.57.162 ip4:206.123.121.0/25 ip4:192.127.203.60 ip4:12.47.172.3 ip4…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k1” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics 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.
17 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 17 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.
