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
2.0 s · 1.2 MB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 784 KiB6 images could be 784 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
310 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity and FontAwesome CDN), adding 188 KiB and 41 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Document request latency
10 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.
2 checks passed
Server response: 236 ms
236 msYour server sent the HTML in 236 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 57 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s
5.9 sYour 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 text “อัปเดทข่าวสารรอบรั้วชาวนนทรี COMMUNITY ZONE สำหรับนิสิต บุค…”. Most of its time is resource load delay (3.5 s).
Speed Index: 8.9 s
8.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.9 s
5.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 99 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 25 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 25 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (10), fonts 203 KiB (4) and stylesheets 96 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
17 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 20 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 3 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.
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “มหาวิทยาลัยเกษตรศาสตร์”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at ku.ac.th/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
6 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 6 pages on ku.ac.th and 6 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “มหาวิทยาลัยเกษตรศาสตร์ สร้างสรรค์ศาสตร์แห่งแผ่นดินสู่สากลเพื่อพัฒนาประเทศอย่างยั่งยืน Kasetsart University is a public …”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.ku.ac.th/sitemap.xml.
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.
Other pages
4 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://www.ku.ac.th/th/community-home, https://www.ku.ac.th/th/newcomer-home, https://www.ku.ac.th/th/partner-home and https://www.ku.ac.th/en/community-home, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.1/css/all.css' from origin 'https://www.ku.ac.th…”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Only about 8 words
The homepage has only about 8 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
2 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Microsoft Clarity (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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 ku.ac.th, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
