One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
3.7 MB4 images could be 3.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (mycourse.app, Google Tag Manager and Stripe and others), adding 14.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 689 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (689 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 375 KiBAbout 375 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
mycourse.app adds 451 ms
451 msmycourse.app costs a phone 451 ms of main-thread work and 5.7 MB 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.
Vimeo adds 133 ms
133 msVimeo costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 7.5 MB 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 Tag Manager adds 302 ms
302 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 561 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
208 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 208 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 63 ms
63 msYour server sent the HTML in 63 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 17.2 s
17.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 17.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 37.3 s
37.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 37.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 7.0 s
7.0 sThe first text or image appears after 7.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.0 s
7.0 sYour largest element takes 7.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Wedding & Event Industry's Best and Brightest Choose IW…”.
Total Blocking Time: 544 ms
544 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 544 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.2 MB in 212 requests
15.2 MBYour homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 212 requests on a phone: other files 6.6 MB (54), images 4.4 MB (15) and scripts 3.3 MB (108). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 KiB) is 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.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.31 g of CO₂e: 517.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 buttons without a name
12 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
22 text elements with low contrast
22 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (36 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 36 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
7 form fields without a label
7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The Wedding & Event Industry's Best and Brightest…” and “PRIVATE & CORPORATE EVENT DESIGN TRAINING”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
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.
11 links crawlers can't follow
11 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title, so shared links fall back to guesses.
30 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on iwedglobal.com and 7 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://iwedglobal.com/.
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://iwedglobal.com/sitemap.xml.
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 https://iwedglobal.com/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 (1,544 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
https://iwedglobal.com/event-designer-boot-camp has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
3 third-party cookies
3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
21 of 21 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: “25,000+ STUDENTS”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 874 words of copy
The homepage carries about 874 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

Phone number on the homepage

Risk reducer mentioned

Privacy and tracking

7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 2 mores (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.
28 cookies set on arrival
28Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.
43 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 iwedglobal.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
