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
1.8 s · 8.8 MB47 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.8 MB).
Improve image delivery
4.7 MB23 images could be 4.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
640 ms · 109 KiBAbout 109 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 640 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, Google Fonts and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 3.6 MB and 5 ms of main-thread time.
Amazon Web Services adds 0 ms
0 msAmazon Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.2 MB 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
150 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 114 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).
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 375 ms 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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s
5.5 sYour largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) of IIT Bombay has been i…”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.0 s).
Speed Index: 6.8 s
6.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 63% slower for real visitors
+63%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 227 ms to 379 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
Real-user TTFB: 941 ms
941 msReal visitors wait 941 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.6 s
5.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 4.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 109 ms
109 msReal visitors wait 109 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 79 ms
79 msScripts block the page for only 79 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.2 MB in 66 requests
9.2 MBYour homepage downloads 9.2 MB in 66 requests on a phone: images 8.5 MB (39), fonts 337 KiB (9) and scripts 243 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
ecellcoin.png weighs 2.5 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (2.5 MB) is 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.
About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit
2.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.60 g of CO₂e: 312.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 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 (35 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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 main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.ecell.in/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at ecell.in/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
Title: 30 characters
Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “E-Cell - Creating Job Creators”.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 1,038 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.
Best practices
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
8 of 8 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 (ecell.in).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ecell.in and is valid for another 68 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://ecell.in redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
ecell.in 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
ecell.in'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 20 years old
20 yearsecell.in was registered in Sep 2006 through GoDaddy. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2028
ecell.in is registered until Sep 2028.
Content and conversion
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 1,038 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,038 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ecell.in is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:_spf.google.com mx include:servers.mcsv.net ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
