One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

10 to fix25
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    18.4 s · 16.0 MB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16.0 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    2.8 s · 13.1 MB

    13 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 s

    8 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 MB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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

    25/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    79 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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    The 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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 CLS: 1.12

    1.12

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 1.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 23.2 s

    23.2 s

    The 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 s

    Your 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 23.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.1 s

    30.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.776

    0.776

    The 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 309 ms

    309 ms

    Scripts 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 ms

    Real 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 ms

    Real 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

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 16.9 MB in 98 requests

    16.9 MB

    Your 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 MB

    4 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 6382
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 9270
  • 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

2 to fix63
  • 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

Google 96100
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

2 to fix83
  • 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

1 to fix
  • 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 years

    dma.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

4 to fix40
  • 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

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 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

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before 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

    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.

  • 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.
