placercoe.org website review

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

About 381 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

6 images could be 455 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 780 ms faster on a phone.

76 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).

18 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Siteimprove and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 61 KiB and 38 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “With the Right Teacher Anything is Possible”. Most of its time is resource load delay (5.8 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

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.

6 images (707 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.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example SpaceGirl-Text.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 585 px. Resized copies would save about 54 KiB.

1 image further down the page (119 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

Your title is only 17 characters: “Pages - PCOE Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

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

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

The homepage links to 163 pages on placercoe.org and 16 external pages.

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.

There is no https://placercoe.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.

https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Home.aspx and / all use the title “Pages - PCOE Home”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/, https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Canvas.aspx, https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Whats-My-District.aspx, https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Staff-Directory.aspx, https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/About/About.aspx and https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/About/County-Superintendent/County-Superintendent.aspx and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Home.aspx. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/ and https://placercoe.org/Pages/PCOE/Staff-Directory.aspx took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 101 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

14 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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 403 ()”.

5 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

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

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.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 112 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
