fe.training website review

28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 49). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

88 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).

33 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

About 205 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

About 644 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 921 ms of main-thread work and 711 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.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 750 ms).

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 407 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 2,417 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

tidio.co costs a phone 91 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 visitors wait 4.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 4.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 29.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.8 s).

The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 322 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 226 ms to 252 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 4.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 214 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (86), scripts 1.8 MB (60) and fonts 1.6 MB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

iytrv1ym-Firefly.png weighs 1.1 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

30 images (2.9 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.

38 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example fcjfnk2e-hero-banner-Oct-sale-Week-2-Oct-2026.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 89 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.23 g of CO₂e: 267.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

32 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

24 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

41 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

9 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 207 pages on fe.training and 20 external pages.

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.

/product-category/public-courses and /product-category/public-courses-london all use the title “Financial Modeling Classes in London - Financial Edge Training”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/pricing has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/product-category/public-courses and /product-category/public-courses-london use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /product/online-finance-courses/the-credit-analyst, whose canonical is /product/online-finance-courses/credit-analysis/the-credit-analyst. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/product-category/online-finance-courses and /pricing have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/product-category/online-finance-courses, /product/online-finance-courses/corporate-finance/the-investment-banker, /product/online-finance-courses/asset-management/the-portfolio-manager, /product/online-finance-courses/the-restructurer and /product/online-finance-courses/the-credit-analyst took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/school/financial-edge-training/people/ (999).

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://go.fe.training/.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

fe.training 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.

fe.training'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.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,321 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be fe.training is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
