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
9.9 s · 2.7 MB60 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.7 MB).
Render-blocking requests
11.4 s46 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 11.4 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.7 s · 2.9 MBAbout 2.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
1.6 s · 369 KiB369 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 398 KiBAbout 398 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
classy.org adds 1.2 s
1.2 sclassy.org costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 28
28/100Your mobile performance score is 28 (desktop: 36). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.6 s
A phone's processor spends 8.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (classy.org, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 22.9 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 1.2 MB7 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 200 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 700 ms
700 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 700 ms of main-thread work and 901 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.
Google CDN adds 314 ms
314 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 938 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 305 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 218 ms
218 msFacebook costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 396 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.
Mapbox adds 221 ms
221 msMapbox costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 369 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Document request latency
66 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 50 ms
50 msYour server sent the HTML in 50 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.
First Contentful Paint: 11.9 s
11.9 sThe first text or image appears after 11.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s
16.4 sYour largest element takes 16.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Two donation heart ornaments”.
Speed Index: 15.4 s
15.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 15.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 60.0 s
60.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 60.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s
1.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user INP: 221 ms
221 msReal visitors wait 221 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
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: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors
+15%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 160 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 2.4 s
2.4 sReal visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.09
0.09For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.09 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.079
0.079The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.079, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 29.1 MB in 319 requests
29.1 MBYour homepage downloads 29.1 MB in 319 requests on a phone: other files 18.9 MB (122), scripts 7.2 MB (128) and images 2.2 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
2026-10-dm-header.jpg weighs 607 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
8 images in older formats
8 images (1.5 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 8.2 g of CO₂ per visit
8.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.24 g of CO₂e: 989.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
10 form fields without a label
10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores 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 (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
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.
74 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 74 pages on fmsc.org and 20 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “How it works”.
Title: 51 characters
Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Feed My Starving Children | Volunteer to pack meals”.
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.fmsc.org/sitemaps/website.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 (884 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
5 JavaScript errors while loading
5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
13 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.fmsc.org/about-us (network).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://fmscmarketplace.org/.
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 (fmsc.org).
Valid certificate (24 days left)
The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 verifies for fmsc.org and is valid for another 24 days.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://fmsc.org redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fmsc.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
fmsc.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 29 years old
29 yearsfmsc.org was registered in Feb 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2029
fmsc.org is registered until Feb 2029.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 450 words of copy
The homepage carries about 450 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Food Aid Request” and “Join Something Greater”.
15 calls to action
The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Join Something Greater™”, “Food aid request” and “Contact us”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:761kinec0x.powerspf.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
60 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 60 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner
A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
