kcha.org website review

Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 143 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 720 ms faster on a phone.

3 images could be 138 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 311 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 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 312 KiB and 179 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 122 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 19 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.

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.

Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Smiling boy with his father”.

Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 109 ms to 113 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 2.0 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 images (179 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.

2 images further down the page (126 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 0.24 g of CO₂e: 28.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

36 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Your title is only 11 characters: “Home - KCHA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 138 pages on kcha.org and 5 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://www.kcha.org/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.

https://www.kcha.org/contact, https://www.kcha.org/urgent-help, https://www.kcha.org/find-housing, https://www.kcha.org/find-housing/search-for-housing, https://www.kcha.org/find-housing/housing-choice-voucher-section-8 and https://www.kcha.org/find-housing/subsidized-housing and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

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 302 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 2 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 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
