Speed

12 to fix40
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 2.9 MB

    71 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.9 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (TikTok, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 982 KiB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 769 KiB

    About 769 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    681 KiB

    14 images could be 681 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • TikTok adds 379 ms

    379 ms

    TikTok costs a phone 379 ms of main-thread work and 292 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 397 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 329 ms

    329 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 329 ms of main-thread work and 284 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.

  • 2,966 HTML elements

    The page has 2,966 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Hubspot adds 275 ms

    275 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 140 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 99 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 99 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 31 KiB

    About 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Real visitors wait 3.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 474 ms

    474 ms

    Real visitors wait 474 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 67% slower for real visitors

    +67%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 318 ms to 529 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 52% slower for real visitors

    +52%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.6 s to 5.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 35 images without width and height

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

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.2 MB in 195 requests

    6.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 195 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (52), scripts 2.2 MB (82) and media 810 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (21 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.75 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.75 g of CO₂e: 210.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 45 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No structured data

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

  • 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.

  • 535 internal links, 22 external

    The homepage links to 535 pages on joinleland.com and 22 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Leland is a marketplace for ambitious people to access the coaching, classes, and community they need to reach career a…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Own your future”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Reach Ambitious Goals | Leland”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.joinleland.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://www.joinleland.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://www.joinleland.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 (1,840 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://www.joinleland.com/build-with-ai, https://www.joinleland.com/break-into-ai-careers, https://www.joinleland.com/mba, https://www.joinleland.com/management-consulting, https://www.joinleland.com/product-management and https://www.joinleland.com/gre and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 173 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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.

  • About 874 words of copy

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

1 checks passed
