itcr.ac.cr does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

6 to fix32
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 912 KiB

    About 912 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.1 s · 367 KiB

    About 367 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your mobile performance score is 32 (desktop: 45). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    608 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 608 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 296 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 49 KiB

    49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.4 s

    24.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 138 ms

    138 ms

    Real visitors wait 138 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 641 ms

    641 ms

    Real visitors wait 641 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.072

    0.072

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.072, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix50
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 183 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

6 to fix83
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 10043
  • 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

1 to fix83
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 5633
  • 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

2 to fix50
  • 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

5 to fix30
  • 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

1 to fix70
  • 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.
