Speed
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 63). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 195 KiB10 images could be 195 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 111 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (111 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,661 HTML elements
The page has 1,661 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
LiveChat adds 65 ms
65 msLiveChat costs a phone 65 ms of main-thread work and 366 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, LiveChat and Shopify and others), adding 747 KiB and 250 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
120 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.6 MB in 303 requests
9.6 MBYour homepage downloads 9.6 MB in 303 requests on a phone: media 6.2 MB (1), scripts 1,017 KiB (109) and other files 951 KiB (129). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.72 g of COâ‚‚e: 326.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 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
24 links with vague text
24 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Meta description is long (230 characters)
Your meta description is 230 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected token ',', ..."rteacher",,"https:\/"... is not va)”.
98 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 98 pages on masterteacher.com and 22 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The Master Teacher, Inc. - Professional Learning”.
Title: 48 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.masterteacher.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.masterteacher.com/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.
3 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 (2,988 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.masterteacher.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.masterteacher.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.masterteacher.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
12 pages without a meta description
https://www.masterteacher.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.masterteacher.com/products/teacher-pd-bundle, https://www.masterteacher.com/products/paraeducator-online-courses, https://www.masterteacher.com/products/the-master-teacher-weekly-pd-program, https://www.masterteacher.com/products/behavior-bundle and https://www.masterteacher.com/products/teacher-elearning-bundle and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages share a meta description
https://www.masterteacher.com/pages/elearning-webinar, https://www.masterteacher.com/pages/ctepathway and https://www.masterteacher.com/collections/autism use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 pages without an H1
https://www.masterteacher.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.masterteacher.com/pages/ctepathway and https://www.masterteacher.com/collections/autism have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
