Speed

12 to fix57
  • Main-thread work: 16.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 16.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Taboola adds 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Taboola costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 2.2 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

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

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Taboola, Spot.IM and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 5.0 MB and 3.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    130 ms · 2.1 MB

    About 2.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 1.1 MB

    149 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Spot.IM adds 823 ms

    823 ms

    Spot.IM costs a phone 823 ms of main-thread work and 633 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 645 ms

    645 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 645 ms of main-thread work and 717 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    353 KiB

    14 images could be 353 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Tealium adds 260 ms

    260 ms

    Tealium costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 760 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.

  • 2,509 HTML elements

    The page has 2,509 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    130 ms · 139 KiB

    About 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    98 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 98 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 52.6 s

    52.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 52.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user FCP: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 298 ms

    298 ms

    Real visitors wait 298 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 194 ms to 167 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 7.4 MB in 755 requests

    7.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 755 requests on a phone: scripts 4.7 MB (111), images 1.6 MB (181) and other files 577 KiB (407). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.08 g of CO₂e: 250.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

8 to fixGoogle 8389
  • 17 tap targets too small

    17 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.

  • 14 links without text

    14 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 122 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8578
  • 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 (669 characters)

    Your meta description is 669 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 11 links with vague text

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

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 138 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 138 pages on kutv.com and 20 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Salt Lake City News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kutv.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://kutv.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 1 AI answer engine crawler

    1 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • 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 /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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,636 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /weather, /sports, /features and /watch use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /weather, /sports and /features have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 121 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 5 third-party cookies

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

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “pbjs.setConfig is not a function”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    21 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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 social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

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

  • 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 1,305 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,305 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Newsletter Sign Up”, “Download on the App Store” and “Contact KUTV 2”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads and Google Analytics and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 88 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 88 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

    A consent management tool (Ketch) 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 kutv.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
