Speed

14 to fix25
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.3 s · 4.9 MB

    About 4.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 2.4 MB

    66 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.4 MB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.4 s of main-thread work and 2.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • classy.org adds 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    classy.org costs a phone 2.2 s of main-thread work and 2.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 401 KiB

    About 401 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 16.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 16.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 10.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 25

    25/100

    Your mobile performance score is 25. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, classy.org and PayPal and others), adding 10.0 MB and 7.4 s of main-thread time.

  • PayPal adds 946 ms

    946 ms

    PayPal costs a phone 946 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    781 KiB

    9 images could be 781 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • rum-ingress-coralogix.com adds 758 ms

    758 ms

    rum-ingress-coralogix.com costs a phone 758 ms of main-thread work and 154 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 453 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • YouTube adds 338 ms

    338 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 991 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 22 KiB

    22 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 31.1 s

    31.1 s

    Your largest element takes 31.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 32.3 s

    32.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 32.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 115.9 s

    115.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 115.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 4.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.22

    0.22

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.22 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% slower for real visitors

    +27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 179 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 130 ms

    130 ms

    Real visitors wait 130 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 441 ms

    441 ms

    Real visitors wait 441 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 20.1 MB in 484 requests

    20.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 20.1 MB in 484 requests on a phone: scripts 12.7 MB (167), fonts 2.4 MB (24) and other files 1.8 MB (187). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    6a441600467b0f68c2ff3c8d_banner_image5-p-500.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (43 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 5.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.70 g of CO₂e: 683.6 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

7 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 20 text elements with low contrast

    20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 links without text

    3 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 100 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9281
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 141 internal links, 34 external

    The homepage links to 141 pages on kesem.org and 34 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Kesem offers free camps and year-round programs for children facing a parent’s cancer, providing fun, connection, and a…”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Free, fun support for kids whose parents have cancer | Kesem”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kesem.org/.

  • 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.kesem.org/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.kesem.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.

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 (2,924 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.kesem.org/programs has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.kesem.org/about-us/our-mission-and-values and https://www.kesem.org/ways-to-give use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7770
  • 4 broken images

    4 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.kesem.org/.

  • 6 third-party cookies

    6 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to fetch at 'https://tags.srv.stackadapt.com/sa.jpeg' from origin 'https://donate.kesem.org' has been blocked by…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 503 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 503 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start a fundraiser today” and “Fill out our interest form to learn more”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Start a fundraiser today”, “Fill out our interest form to learn more” and “Register Your Child”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 27 cookies set on arrival

    27

    Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 53 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 53 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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 kesem.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
