Speed
Improve image delivery
9.9 s · 2.4 MB11 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 408 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (408 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 91 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 147 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s
13.4 sYour largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Childcare Subsidies”.
Time to Interactive: 13.4 s
13.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
3 checks passed
Speed Index: 3.1 s
3.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004
0.004The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 59 ms
59 msScripts block the page for only 59 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images far larger than shown
1.2 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ehs-apply-here.png at 1,165 px wide, shown at 316 px. Resized copies would save about 1.2 MB.
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 27 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 27 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (12), scripts 131 KiB (7) and fonts 94 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images in older formats
8 images (1.9 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (739 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 100.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
29 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 29 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is long (99 characters)
Your title is 99 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Maui Family Support Services, Inc. | Strengthening Children and Families in Maui County s…”.
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, og:description), 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.
10 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 10 pages on mfss.org and 3 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Maui Family Support Services, Inc.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.mfss.org/.
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.mfss.org/wp-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.mfss.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.
1 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.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.mfss.org/3335-2, https://www.mfss.org/about-mfss, https://www.mfss.org/services, https://www.mfss.org/donate, https://www.mfss.org/volunteer and https://www.mfss.org/contact-us and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://www.mfss.org/3335-2, https://www.mfss.org/donate, https://www.mfss.org/contact-us, https://www.mfss.org/accessibility and https://www.mfss.org/privacy-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.mfss.org/services and https://www.mfss.org/donate have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
8 internal pages checked
We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 36 words
The homepage has only about 36 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
2 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 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 mfss.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
