jjc.edu website review

18 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.6 s faster on a phone.

32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.5 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, botframework.com and Clarity and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 534 ms of main-thread work and 788 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.

botframework.com costs a phone 374 ms of main-thread work and 940 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.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 24.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 10.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 482 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The layout shifts by 0.158 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 62 requests on a phone: images 4.2 MB (25), scripts 1.9 MB (15) and fonts 209 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6 images (966 KiB) 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.

6 images further down the page (966 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.87 g of CO₂e: 224.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

8 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Your meta description is 201 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 100 pages on jjc.edu and 14 external pages.

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.

There is no https://jjc.edu/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.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

https://jjc.edu/choose-your-path has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://jjc.edu/choose-your-path has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

9 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'querySelector') Object.attach (https://jjc.edu/sites/default/files/js/js_qMBXm…”.

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.

Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 882 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.

Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
