Speed

7 to fix67
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    9.1 s · 2.7 MB

    46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.7 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    7.9 s · 1.9 MB

    7 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 579 KiB

    About 579 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    430 ms · 78 KiB

    About 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 430 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 173 ms

    173 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 337 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 (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Twitter Online Conversion Tracking and others), adding 448 KiB and 208 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    37 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 319 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    Your largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Originality and Solidarity for Intergenerational Prosperity”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 121 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 2.5 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 134 ms

    134 ms

    Real visitors wait 134 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 39 ms

    39 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 39 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 7.5 MB in 60 requests

    7.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.5 MB in 60 requests on a phone: media 4.3 MB (1), images 2.0 MB (12) and scripts 909 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    VoI_Banner_Desktop_2400x600.png weighs 1.4 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example VoI_Banner_Desktop_2400x600.png at 2,400 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 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 (101 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.12 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.12 g of CO₂e: 253.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7688
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Positive tabindex

    2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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

5 to fixGoogle 9271
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (87 characters)

    Your title is 87 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Islamic Development Bank | Empowering people, building partnerships, driving innovation”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“IsDB”, “Search” and “Islamic Development Bank”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 98 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 98 pages on isdb.org and 15 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.isdb.org/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.isdb.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 https://www.isdb.org/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 (634 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 3 pages share a title

    /, https://www.isdb.org/ar/home and https://www.isdb.org/fr/home all use the title “Islamic Development Bank | Empowering people, building partnerships, …”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.isdb.org/ar/home, https://www.isdb.org/fr/home, https://www.isdb.org/who-we-are, https://www.isdb.org/leadership/board-of-governors, https://www.isdb.org/president and https://www.isdb.org/leadership/board-of-executive-directors and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.isdb.org/ar/home, whose canonical is https://www.isdb.org/ar. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.isdb.org/ar/home 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.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.isdb.org/fr/home, https://www.isdb.org/leadership/board-of-executive-directors, https://www.isdb.org/offices and https://www.isdb.org/isdb-member-countries took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was 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.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    57 of 66 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 618 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 618 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: “Contact”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and X (Twitter) Ads (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 isdb.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
