Speed

11 to fix11
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6.8 s · 1.7 MB

    48 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.7 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 977 KiB

    13 images could be 977 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 11

    11/100

    Your mobile performance score is 11. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 3.9 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 996 ms

    996 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 996 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    620 ms · 136 KiB

    About 136 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 620 ms faster on a phone.

  • juicer.io adds 65 ms

    65 ms

    juicer.io costs a phone 65 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 269 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 53 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix0
  • 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 CLS: 0.56

    0.56

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.56 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.0 s

    23.0 s

    Your largest element takes 23.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.5 s

    24.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.776

    0.776

    The layout shifts by 0.776 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 927 ms

    927 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 927 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 206 ms

    206 ms

    Real visitors wait 206 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

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

  • 23 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 213 ms to 208 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 23.9 MB in 136 requests

    23.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.9 MB in 136 requests on a phone: media 17.9 MB (5), images 3.0 MB (49) and scripts 2.5 MB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    37314411 weighs 584 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    520 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 37314411 at 1,350 px wide, shown at 328 px. Resized copies would save about 520 KiB.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (2.2 MB) 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.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (2.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 6.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.77 g of CO₂e: 812.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8391
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Links must have discernible text (4 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 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: 43 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.kis.in/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 191 internal links, 27 external

    The homepage links to 191 pages on kis.in and 27 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Kodaikanal International School is India's pioneering IB school, offering PYP, MYP and DP education while shaping globa…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Home”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Kodaikanal International School | Residential - South India”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kis.in/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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.kis.in/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 (1,074 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.kis.in/about-us/accreditations took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 79 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

  • 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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83
  • No call to action on the first screen

    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 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 1,652 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,652 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Apply” and “Schedule a Campus Tour”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 34 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 34 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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