Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 878 KiBAbout 878 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
1.5 s · 540 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (540 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 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 (PayPal, Google Tag Manager and nice-team.net and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 345 KiB10 images could be 345 KiB 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: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
PayPal adds 416 ms
416 msPayPal costs a phone 416 ms of main-thread work and 681 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 Tag Manager adds 262 ms
262 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.
2,895 HTML elements
The page has 2,895 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
nice-team.net adds 215 ms
215 msnice-team.net costs a phone 215 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.
Shopify adds 137 ms
137 msShopify costs a phone 137 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
32 KiB32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

SEO
Meta description is long (319 characters)
Your meta description is 319 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
480 internal links, 32 external
The homepage links to 480 pages on goodminds.com and 32 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “GoodMinds.com”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Indigenous Educational Resources for Schools and Libraries”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.goodminds.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.goodminds.com/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
3 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 (2,151 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.goodminds.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices
19 small tap targets
19 of 84 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 60 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 1,249 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,249 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
17 calls to action
The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Sign up” and “BOOK CLUBS NOVELS”.

4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at goodminds.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Wishlist Hero · Pushowl · addons.business · nice-team.net · searchserverapi1.com
