Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
71.0 s · 14.8 MB9 images could be 14.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 71.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
20.3 s · 4.2 MB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 600 KiBAbout 600 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optanon and others), adding 1.1 MB and 844 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
750 ms · 88 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 88 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 428 ms
428 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 505 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
300 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 50 KiB50 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
1,501 HTML elements
The page has 1,501 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 104.4 s
104.4 sYour largest element takes 104.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Kids LiveWell The Association has launched the new Kids Liv…”.
Time to Interactive: 104.5 s
104.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 104.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 14.1 s
14.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors
+26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 440 ms
440 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 440 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 21.0 MB in 72 requests
21.0 MBYour homepage downloads 21.0 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 19.2 MB (14), scripts 1.3 MB (26) and other files 382 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 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.
About 6.0 g of CO₂ per visit
5.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.96 g of CO₂e: 714.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 tap targets too small
12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Positive tabindex
1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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 long (175 characters)
Your meta description is 175 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
154 internal links, 42 external
The homepage links to 154 pages on restaurant.org and 42 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 65 characters
Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “National Restaurant Association | National Restaurant Association”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://restaurant.org/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.restaurant.org/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://restaurant.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.
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 (1,251 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://restaurant.org/about-us/contact-us and https://restaurant.org/membership/member-benefits have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages share a meta description
https://restaurant.org/education-and-resources/learning-center/business-operations, https://restaurant.org/education-and-resources/learning-center/business-operations/marketing-sales and https://restaurant.org/education-and-resources/learning-center/business-operations/immigration-enforcement use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://restaurant.org/membership/member-benefits, whose canonical is https://restaurant.org/membership/member-categories. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
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 1,009 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,009 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 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
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
