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
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 158 KiBAbout 158 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Usercentrics CMP adds 311 ms
311 msUsercentrics CMP costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 258 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, Google Tag Manager and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 468 KiB and 431 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 35 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
23 KiB1 image could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 99 but mobile only 68. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 656 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 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: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Education Management System That Elevates Learning Welcome …”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.
Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.1 s
5.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 114 ms to 106 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.22 g of CO₂e: 26.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 793 KiB in 77 requests
793 KiBYour homepage downloads 793 KiB in 77 requests on a phone: scripts 434 KiB (21), images 178 KiB (24) and fonts 76 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
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
16 text elements with low contrast
16 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 49 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 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
58 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 58 pages on geniuslearning.com and 3 external pages.

Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (901 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (21 KiB, 51 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page with very little text
/support has 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.
2 pages slow to respond

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.
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 (geniuslearning.com).
Valid certificate (56 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for geniuslearning.com and is valid for another 56 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://geniuslearning.com 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.
All 24 links work
All 24 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
geniuslearning.com 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
geniuslearning.com'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 18 years old

Content and conversion
No phone number on the homepage

No direct contact details

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

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be geniuslearning.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
DKIM signing found

Privacy and tracking
