Speed

8 to fix57
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8.5 s · 22.8 MB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22.8 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    7.2 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.2 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    3.2 s · 674 KiB

    About 674 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 559 KiB

    About 559 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 71). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    550 ms · 366 KiB

    6 images could be 366 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 42 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 181 ms

    181 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 181 ms of main-thread work and 411 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 (Google Tag Manager, userway.org and ShareThis and others), adding 797 KiB and 282 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    36 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Document request latency

    126 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    29 KiB

    29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 545 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 41 ms

    41 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 41 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    Your largest element takes 16.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Aerial view of an industrial area featuring large storage t…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.0 s

    17.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 825 ms

    825 ms

    Real visitors wait 825 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 102 ms

    102 ms

    Real visitors wait 102 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.10

    0.10

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.10 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.014

    0.014

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.014, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 28 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 23.7 MB in 105 requests

    23.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.7 MB in 105 requests on a phone: images 21.5 MB (24), scripts 1.2 MB (37) and stylesheets 725 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 20.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    17.4 MB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Parking-Lot.png at 3,541 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 17.4 MB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (21.1 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.

  • About 6.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.71 g of CO₂e: 805.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8791
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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

3 to fixGoogle 6986
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 links with vague text

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 250 internal links, 25 external

    The homepage links to 250 pages on msdprojectclear.org and 25 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “MSD Project Clear — St. Louis Sewer Infrastructure Improvements”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Home Page - Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://msdprojectclear.org/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://msdprojectclear.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://msdprojectclear.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,200 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://msdprojectclear.org/newsroom, https://msdprojectclear.org/events, https://msdprojectclear.org/careers, https://msdprojectclear.org/customers/problems-tips/report-issue, https://msdprojectclear.org/contact-us and https://msdprojectclear.org/customers/billing/payment-options and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 158 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 16 small tap targets

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected end of input”.

  • Browser-reported issues

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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 828 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 828 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact Us Online” and “Request Development Review”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 10 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and The Trade Desk (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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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 msdprojectclear.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
