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
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 907 KiB27 images could be 907 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 160 KiBAbout 160 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and rlets.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 647 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
697 KiBAbout 697 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 242 ms
242 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
284 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (284 KiB).
1,550 HTML elements
The page has 1,550 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google CDN adds 81 ms
81 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 81 ms of main-thread work and 351 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 147 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 809 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 10 ms
10 msYour server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 0.26
0.26For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.26 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 14.0 s
14.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.47
0.47The layout shifts by 0.47 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Female standing in an automotive workshop”.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 290 ms
290 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 290 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 109 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.4 MB in 89 requests
12.4 MBYour homepage downloads 12.4 MB in 89 requests on a phone: media 9.2 MB (1), scripts 1.5 MB (27) and images 1.3 MB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (262 KiB) 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.
About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit
3.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.52 g of CO₂e: 421.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (189 characters)
Your meta description is 189 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
9 links with vague text
9 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.
185 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 185 pages on llcc.edu and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Home”.
Title: 30 characters
Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Lincoln Land Community College”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.llcc.edu/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.llcc.edu/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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.llcc.edu/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 (1,155 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.llcc.edu/info/parents-family, https://www.llcc.edu/high-school-counselors and https://www.llcc.edu/request-info have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.llcc.edu/employment, whose canonical is https://www.llcc.edu/about-llcc/human-resources. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.llcc.edu/foundation took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 102 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Best practices
14 small tap targets
14 of 63 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
9 third-party cookies
9 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
About 844 words of copy
The homepage carries about 844 words of visible text.
7 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Register now” and “Apply Now”.
15 calls to action

4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 19 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads (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.
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening 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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 llcc.edu, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
