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
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, firebaseapp.com and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 17.5 MB and 442 ms of main-thread time.
b-cdn.net adds 0 ms
0 msb-cdn.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 16.4 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.
Improve image delivery
1.4 MB5 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 304 ms
304 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 304 ms of main-thread work and 156 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.
Firebase adds 0 ms
0 msFirebase costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 851 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
30 ms · 148 KiBAbout 148 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 100 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
81 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (81 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
30 ms · 30 KiB30 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.9 MB in 54 requests
17.9 MBYour homepage downloads 17.9 MB in 54 requests on a phone: media 13.6 MB (1), images 3.6 MB (13) and scripts 557 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.1 g of CO₂ per visit
5.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.08 g of CO₂e: 609.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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”.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (47 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 47 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
31 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “Faculty of Management Studies”. 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.
Meta description is short (3 characters)
Your meta description is only 3 characters: “FMS”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
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 favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
71 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on fms.edu and 12 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Faculty of Management Studies”.
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://fms.edu/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 (673 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
16 pages share a title
/, /contact-us, /important-links, /about, /about/deans-message and /about/facilities and 10 others all use the title “Faculty of Management Studies”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages share a meta description
/contact-us, /important-links, /about, /about/deans-message, /about/facilities and /about/alumni-community and 9 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
/important-links and /faculty/our-faculty-directory have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
3 broken external links
3 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/swapna-gupta-322b714?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app (999).
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fms.edu).
Valid certificate (48 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for fms.edu and is valid for another 48 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://fms.edu redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
1 checks passed
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only sectigo.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for fms.edu, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
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 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 315 words of copy
The homepage carries about 315 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact Placement Team”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
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.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:209.85.220.69 include:amazonses.com -all ”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
