Live view · interaction off

Speed

15 to fix18
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.1 s · 2.6 MB

    About 2.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 3.6 MB

    61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    4.8 s · 941 KiB

    5 images could be 941 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • audioeye.com adds 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    audioeye.com costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 298 KiB 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.

  • cloudfront.net adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 3.1 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.

  • onlineaccess1.com adds 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    onlineaccess1.com costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 187 KiB 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.

  • Main-thread work: 11.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 11.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 18

    18/100

    Your mobile performance score is 18 (desktop: 44). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye.com, onlineaccess1.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 6.3 MB and 5.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 960 ms

    960 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 960 ms of main-thread work and 875 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 CDN adds 457 ms

    457 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 457 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 141 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 141 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 26 KiB

    26 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 92 KiB

    About 92 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.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 44 but mobile only 18. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • 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: 0.31

    0.31

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.31 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 24.1 s

    24.1 s

    Your largest element takes 24.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Ends 12/31/26. Full rules at LaunchC…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 49.5 s

    49.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 49.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.236

    0.236

    The layout shifts by 0.236 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 156 ms to 182 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 3.2 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 184 ms

    184 ms

    Real visitors wait 184 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 8.7 MB in 235 requests

    8.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.7 MB in 235 requests on a phone: scripts 6.0 MB (70), images 1.6 MB (29) and fonts 566 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (1.3 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.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    341 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1400-x-215-Mid-Page-Promo_Newsweek-2026.png at 1,400 px wide, shown at 298 px. Resized copies would save about 341 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (28 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.48 g of CO₂e: 297.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 9190
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)

    Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “Launch Credit Union”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 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.

  • 84 internal links, 36 external

    The homepage links to 84 pages on launchfcu.com and 36 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Launch Credit Union offers a variety of financial products and services to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “You Could Win a Year of No Payments”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.launchcu.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.launchcu.com/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 /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 (1,227 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 46 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7770
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://jelly.mdhv.io/v1/star.gif?pid=11QMIVZOXTCfAkoN1yx7Yh9400bZ&src=mh&evt=hi.

  • 34 small tap targets

    34 of 75 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 2 broken external links

    2 links to other sites are dead, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lunchfederalcreditunion5152.mobile&pcampaignid=pcampaignidMKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1 (404).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • 6 links through redirect chains

    6 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://onlinebanking.launchcu.com/Registration.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (launchcu.com).

  • Valid certificate (154 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for launchfcu.com and is valid for another 154 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://launchfcu.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 2 days

    launchcu.com is registered until Oct 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

  • No CAA record

    launchcu.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    launchcu.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 7 years old

    7 years

    launchcu.com was registered in Oct 2018 through Wild West Domains, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 212 words

    The homepage has only about 212 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More” and “Contact Launch CU”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Book an Appointment” and “Fee Schedule”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    launchfcu.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx ip4:75.112.55.48/28 ip4:66.51.28.43/32 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.webaccess1.com include:…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 45 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 45 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It runs WordPress 6.7.1; the current release is 7.1.3.
  • 1 plugin is behind its latest release.contact-form-7 6.0.5 → 6.2.3
  • It loads jQuery 3.3.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
