Speed

11 to fix42
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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 (Google Tag Manager, Wistia and LivePerson and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 722 ms

    722 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 722 ms of main-thread work and 1,007 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    601 KiB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (601 KiB).

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 432 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    424 KiB

    3 images could be 424 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Wistia adds 250 ms

    250 ms

    Wistia costs a phone 250 ms of main-thread work and 152 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.

  • LivePerson adds 206 ms

    206 ms

    LivePerson costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 548 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    27 KiB

    About 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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

12 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 INP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.2 s

    26.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.8 s

    10.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FRAUD ALERT: Scammers are impersonating First Fed through c…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 691% slower for real visitors

    +691%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 228 ms to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 760 ms

    760 ms

    Real visitors wait 760 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 140 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 140 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (64), images 941 KiB (21) and stylesheets 136 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (482 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (482 KiB) 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.28 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (3 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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 9284
  • Title is short (29 characters)

    Your title is only 29 characters: “Community Banking | First Fed”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 195 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 195 pages on ourfirstfed.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “First Fed is your local community bank. Contact us for personal banking, business banking, credit cards, lending and mo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Earn 4.20% APY!”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.ourfirstfed.com/.

  • 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.ourfirstfed.com/sitemap/sitemap-index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.ourfirstfed.com/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.

2 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 (1,060 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 116 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 667 words of copy

    7

A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 38 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
