lincolnlearningsolutions.org website review

About 877 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.0 MB).

6 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 28. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

About 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

hsappstatic.net costs a phone 528 ms of main-thread work and 711 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 costs a phone 458 ms of main-thread work and 650 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.

18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 351 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

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

Your largest element takes 23.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Flexible Digital Curriculum, Supplemental Content, and EK-1…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 686 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

The layout shifts by 0.23 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 123 ms to 147 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 17.8 MB in 141 requests on a phone: media 12.9 MB (3), images 2.3 MB (17) and scripts 2.0 MB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Curriculum Box.webp weighs 562 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Curriculum Box.webp at 8,256 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 554 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.04 g of CO₂e: 604.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 26 characters: “Lincoln Learning Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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

The homepage links to 92 pages on lincolnlearningsolutions.org and 12 external pages.

There is no https://www.lincolnlearningsolutions.org/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.

https://www.lincolnlearningsolutions.org/curriculum and https://www.lincolnlearningsolutions.org/core-curriculum use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.lincolnlearningsolutions.org/support, whose canonical is https://www.lincolnlearningsolutions.org/support-services. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

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

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 778 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
