Speed

14 to fix52
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.5 s · 1.4 MB

    38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.1 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    6.3 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.3 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.4 s · 263 KiB

    About 263 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • audioeye.com adds 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    audioeye.com costs a phone 2.4 s of main-thread work and 348 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Main-thread work: 6.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye.com, Google Tag Manager and weglot.com and others), adding 3.1 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 1.4 MB

    21 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 33). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 54 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 270 ms

    270 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.

  • juicer.io adds 51 ms

    51 ms

    juicer.io costs a phone 51 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.

  • Vimeo adds 47 ms

    47 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 47 ms of main-thread work and 523 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.

  • Google Fonts adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 152 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • 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: 0.46

    0.46

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.46 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 13.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.9 s

    22.9 s

    Your largest element takes 22.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “A group of eight people in green polo shirts stand together…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.0 s

    27.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 20 images without width and height

    20 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 106 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 17% slower for real visitors

    +17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.083

    0.083

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.083, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 148 ms

    148 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 148 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix33
  • Page weight: 5.9 MB in 128 requests

    5.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 128 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (43), scripts 2.1 MB (23) and fonts 416 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    586 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 37387779 at 1,439 px wide, shown at 308 px. Resized copies would save about 586 KiB.

  • 9 images in older formats

    9 images (1.7 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Asset11.svg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (983 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9393
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 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 (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 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: 50 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8581
  • 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 short (44 characters)

    Your meta description is only 44 characters: “Home - Orange County Department Of Education”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.ocde.us/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 11 links with vague text

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

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 61 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 61 pages on ocde.us and 12 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Home”.

  • Title: 44 characters

    Your title is a healthy 44 characters: “Home - Orange County Department Of Education”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.ocde.us/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    48%

    The HTML your server sends has 483 of the 1,011 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    /superintendent/meet-the-superintendent and /divisions have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 5883
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://wsv3cdn.audioeye.com/static-scripts/v2/2026-10-22/compliance.css' from origin 'htt…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ocde.us).

  • Valid certificate (38 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ocde.us and is valid for another 38 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ocde.us redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (34 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, comodoca.com, godaddy.com and pki.goog to issue certificates for ocde.us, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

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: 1 trust badge. 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 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 1,011 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,011 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”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Learn more”, “Subscribe for Updates” and “Contact OCDE”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:104.249.91.152 ip4:104.249.91.153 ip4:104.249.64.34 ip4:104.249.64.35 ip4:104.249.85.52 ip4:104.249.85.53 in…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
