Mobile performance score: 32

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 183 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 183 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (63), images 552 KiB (19) and stylesheets 383 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links do not have a discernible name
Links do not have a discernible name (3 elements).
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
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.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at http://itcr.ac.cr/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at itcr.ac.cr/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
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.
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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Best practices
No mobile viewport
No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
2 console errors
2 errors were logged to the browser console during Google's test (“Refused to apply style from 'https://www.tec.ac.cr/themes/custom/tecnologico/css/slick.css?tn9yf1' …”).
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Security and trust
No HTTPS
Your homepage is served without HTTPS, so browsers mark it “Not secure” and some refuse forms on it.
http:// does not redirect
http://itcr.ac.cr does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
1 checks passed
All 1 links work
All 1 link checked from your homepage (0 internal, 1 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
itcr.ac.cr 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.
Content and conversion
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 1 words
The homepage has only about 1 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be itcr.ac.cr is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf-00787001.pphosted.com include:45887649.spf10.hubspotemail.net inc…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k1” and “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
