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
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and FullStory and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 573 KiBAbout 573 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 746 ms
746 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 746 ms of main-thread work and 692 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 546 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (546 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 128 KiBAbout 128 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Facebook adds 248 ms
248 msFacebook costs a phone 248 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 235 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 132 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 132 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (34), fonts 540 KiB (2) and images 160 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (58 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
10 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 10 pages on jfku.edu and 20 external pages.
