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
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 256 KiBAbout 256 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 1.0 MB48 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 1.1 MB22 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Other Google APIs/SDKs and jQuery CDN and others), adding 1.0 MB and 284 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 45 KiB45 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Azure Web Services adds 0 ms
0 msAzure Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 552 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.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
Minify CSS
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 297 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.5 s
11.5 sYour largest element takes 11.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Find Your Dream Job Today EDJOIN is the leading educational…”.
Time to Interactive: 11.6 s
11.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.7 s
3.7 sThe first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.2 s
6.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 73 ms to 77 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.7 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).
Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 22 ms
22 msScripts block the page for only 22 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 67 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 67 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (32), scripts 666 KiB (20) and stylesheets 50 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
154 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example x-logo-black.png at 2,400 px wide, shown at 23 px. Resized copies would save about 154 KiB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (369 KiB) 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (177 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 72.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 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.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (436 characters)
Your meta description is 436 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
33 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 33 pages on edjoin.org and 10 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Verify Your Email Address”.
Title: 44 characters
Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “EDJOIN - The Nation's #1 Education Job Board”.
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.edjoin.org/sitemap.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.
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.
2 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 (496 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages share a meta description
/FAQS/Index, /Home/RegionSearch, /Home/Events, /Home/ContactForm and /Home/Privacy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
5 pages without an H1
/FAQS/Index, /Home/RegionSearch, /Home/Events, /Home/ContactForm and /Home/Privacy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
7 internal pages checked
We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 7 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 5 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 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
24 small tap targets
24 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
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.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
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 (edjoin.org).
Valid certificate (94 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · RapidSSL TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for edjoin.org and is valid for another 94 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://edjoin.org redirects to the secure version.
All 29 links work
All 29 links checked from your homepage (19 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
edjoin.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
edjoin.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 26 years old
26 yearsedjoin.org was registered in Mar 2000 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2027
edjoin.org is registered until Mar 2027.
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 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 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 397 words of copy
The homepage carries about 397 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Login / Register”, “Register” and “register for an account.”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be edjoin.org 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 +mx +a include:amazonses.com ip4:149.72.184.66 include:sendgrid.net include:email.codestack.org include:mailgun.…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), 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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 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.
Stack
- Framework
- jQuery
- Analytics
- Google Analytics
