Speed

4 to fix86
  • Mobile performance score: 86

    86/100

    Your mobile performance score is 86. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 82 KiB

    2 images could be 82 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 77 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (piwik.pro, JSDelivr CDN and Google Fonts), adding 234 KiB and 66 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    27 KiB

    About 27 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 164 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • 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 content (LCP) got 28% slower for real visitors

    +28%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 834 ms

    834 ms

    Real visitors wait 834 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Student of LAB University of Applied Sciences.”.

  • Time to Interactive: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 3.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 128 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 122 ms

    122 ms

    Real visitors wait 122 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 40 ms

    40 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 40 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (195 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.20 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.20 g of CO₂e: 23.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 708 KiB in 26 requests

    708 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 708 KiB in 26 requests on a phone: images 321 KiB (10), scripts 204 KiB (6) and fonts 64 KiB (3). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 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 (also missing: og:title), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 104 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 104 pages on lab.fi and 11 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Opiskelun ja työn parhaat puolet. LAB-ammattikorkeakoulu on työelämän innovaatiokorkeakoulu, joka toimii Lahdessa, Lapp…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “LAB-ammattikorkeakoulu”.

  • Title: 31 characters

    Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “LAB-ammattikorkeakoulu | LAB.fi”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://lab.fi/fi.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://lab.fi/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://lab.fi/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 (576 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 61 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    11 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 11 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 575 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 575 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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