Speed

3 to fix96
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    295 KiB

    About 295 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • awswaf.com adds 90 ms

    90 ms

    awswaf.com costs a phone 90 ms of main-thread work and 407 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.

  • nmcdn.io adds 50 ms

    50 ms

    nmcdn.io costs a phone 50 ms of main-thread work and 439 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, awswaf.com and nmcdn.io and others), adding 1,014 KiB and 243 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 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).

  • 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.

3 checks passed

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.29 g of CO₂e: 34.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.0 MB in 32 requests

    1.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 32 requests on a phone: scripts 620 KiB (4), images 261 KiB (18) and fonts 130 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8772
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 31 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 8 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 8 passed and 4 failed. 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 short (11 characters)

    Your title is only 11 characters: “Home | PAEA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Article and Organization) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 151 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 151 pages on paeaonline.org and 17 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “PAEA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://paeaonline.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://paeaonline.org/sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, 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://paeaonline.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

1 to fix95
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://paeaonline.org/membership, https://paeaonline.org/membership/become-a-member, https://paeaonline.org/membership/doctoral-program-membership, https://paeaonline.org/membership/member-community-guide, https://paeaonline.org/resources/member-resources and https://paeaonline.org/our-work/member-stories and 2 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 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Only about 15 words

    The homepage has only about 15 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Join Our Team”, “Contact Us” and “Assessment: Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

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.

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 paeaonline.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
