Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.9 s · 12.4 MB74 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12.4 MB).
Improve image delivery
5.3 s · 7.6 MB7 images could be 7.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 885 ms
885 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 885 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 58). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 208 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.9 s
17.9 sYour largest element takes 17.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “ENGINEERING, REIMAGINED”.
Time to Interactive: 20.1 s
20.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 98 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 382 ms
382 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 382 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
29 images without width and height
29 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
3 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) got 22% faster for real visitors
-22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.1 MB in 114 requests
14.1 MBYour homepage downloads 14.1 MB in 114 requests on a phone: images 12.0 MB (42), scripts 2.0 MB (38) and fonts 43 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
lewis-and-clark-website-home-page.jpg weighs 1.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
938 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example lewis-and-clark-website-home-page.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 938 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1.4 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.
About 4.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.99 g of CO₂e: 478.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
29 text elements with low contrast
29 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
23 tap targets too small
23 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
20 images without alt text
20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
Meta description is long (314 characters)
Your meta description is 314 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://kljeng.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at kljeng.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
68 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 68 pages on kljeng.com and 9 external pages.
2 checks passed
Title: 37 characters
Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “KLJ | Engineering & Planning Services”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://kljeng.com/.
AI search readiness
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://kljeng.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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (579 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed
Linked pages load

No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Every page has a meta description
All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.

Best practices
13 small tap targets
13 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 840 words of copy
The homepage carries about 840 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 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.
22 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 kljeng.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
