Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8.4 s · 7.2 MB49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.2 MB).
Render-blocking requests
6.7 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.7 s.
Reduce unused CSS
3.3 s · 696 KiBAbout 696 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36 (desktop: 74). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Google Maps and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 169 KiB3 images could be 169 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 551 ms
551 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 764 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 407 ms
407 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 733 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
350 ms · 58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Maps adds 164 ms
164 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 191 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 74 but mobile only 36. 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.7 s
9.7 sYour largest element takes 9.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 21.4 s
21.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sThe first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.5 s
6.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 535 ms
535 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 535 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.199
0.199The layout shifts by 0.199 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.4 MB in 78 requests
9.4 MBYour homepage downloads 9.4 MB in 78 requests on a phone: media 4.9 MB (1), scripts 2.1 MB (29) and images 1.1 MB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
113 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example home-type-1.png at 1,900 px wide, shown at 296 px. Resized copies would save about 113 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (228 KiB) 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (84 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.68 g of CO₂e: 321.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
13 images without alt text
13 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (78 characters)
Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Humanus Corporation | A Leading National Provider of Professionals in Academia”.
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.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
42 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on humanus.com and 8 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.humanus.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.humanus.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (479 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/job-listings and //job-listings all use the title “Job Listings | Humanus Corporation”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages without a meta description
/tutors and /about-us/in-the-news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/job-listings and //job-listings use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example //job-listings, whose canonical is /job-listings. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
6 pages without an H1
/our-services/education, /our-services/therapy, /our-services/psychology, /our-services/behavioral-health, /our-services/teletherapy and /our-services/nursing have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages with very little text
/job-listings, /blog and //job-listings 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 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.humanus.com/?page_id=6635 (404).
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (humanus.com).
Valid certificate (116 days left)
The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 verifies for humanus.com and is valid for another 116 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://humanus.com 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
humanus.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
humanus.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 23 years old
23 yearshumanus.com was registered in Apr 2003 through IONOS SE. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2027

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 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 319 words of copy
The homepage carries about 319 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be humanus.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 65/100
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.
1 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.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de -all”.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
