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
2.4 s · 4.8 MB61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.5 s · 860 KiBAbout 860 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Font display
3.0 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and pub.network and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 419 ms
419 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 419 ms of main-thread work and 521 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
380 ms · 85 KiBAbout 85 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 380 ms faster on a phone.
Facebook adds 370 ms
370 msFacebook costs a phone 370 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
pub.network adds 204 ms
204 mspub.network costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 399 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 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
34 KiB34 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
7 KiB1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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: 10.1 s
10.1 sYour largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “India's Largest IELTS Live Learning Platform Get Top-Notch …”.
Time to Interactive: 20.8 s
20.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.0 s
10.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 301 ms
301 msReal visitors wait 301 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 258 ms to 313 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 936 ms
936 msReal visitors wait 936 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 597 ms
597 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 597 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004
0.004The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 116 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 116 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (30), scripts 1.9 MB (36) and fonts 190 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
ss_edu.png weighs 2.9 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
3.1 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ss_edu.png at 14,617 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 3.1 MB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (3.1 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (3.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
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.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 form fields without a label
9 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (30 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 59 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 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: 50 passed and 5 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 long (90 characters)
Your title is 90 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “IELTSMaterial.com: IELTS Resources, Free Practice Tests, eBooks, Courses and Live learning”.
Meta description is long (188 characters)
Your meta description is 188 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
43 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 43 pages on ieltsmaterial.com and 16 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Get Top-Notch 1:1 Online IELTS Coaching With Band Guarantee”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ieltsmaterial.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://ieltsmaterial.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,714 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to /ielts-online-classes/webinar and /testimonials, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /listening, whose canonical is /ielts-listening. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Every page has a meta description
All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
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.
Every page has a title
All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)”.
Pasting is blocked
A form field blocks pasting, which frustrates password managers and people on phones.
7 distorted images
7 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
43 of 43 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://ieltsmaterial.com/ielts-online-classes/webinar/?utm_medium=nav_bar (500).
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.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ieltsmaterial.com/listening.
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.
3 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (ieltsmaterial.com).
Valid certificate (63 days left)

Domain expires in 81 days
ieltsmaterial.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
DNSSEC is off
ieltsmaterial.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 11 years old
11 yearsieltsmaterial.com was registered in Jan 2015 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only ssl.com, amazonaws.com, comodoca.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for ieltsmaterial.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
About 766 words of copy
The homepage carries about 766 words of visible text.
7 checks passed

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
