Speed

4 to fix70
  • Improve image delivery

    9.9 s · 2.4 MB

    11 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 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (408 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 59 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 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 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 59 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix33
  • 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 MB

    5 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 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

4 to fixGoogle 8393
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9276
  • 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

1 to fix83
  • 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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • 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

4 to fix58
  • 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.
