Speed

11 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.8 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.2 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.2 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 2.3 MB

    10 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Wistia and Facebook and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 48). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 571 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (571 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 403 ms

    403 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 403 ms of main-thread work and 701 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 · 58 KiB

    About 58 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.

  • Wistia adds 287 ms

    287 ms

    Wistia costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 595 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Document request latency

    266 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 236 ms

    236 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 236 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Your largest element takes 13.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.2 s

    26.2 s

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 291 ms

    291 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 291 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 109 ms to 110 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • 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)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Real visitors wait 101 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 768 ms

    768 ms

    Real visitors wait 768 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

6 to fix19
  • Page weight: 6.7 MB in 119 requests

    6.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 119 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (24), scripts 2.5 MB (55) and HTML 402 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    NEW-Better-students.-Faster_-Graphic.gif weighs 1.3 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    521 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Interquartile Scores.png at 2,670 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 521 KiB.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (2.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (1.5 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

    8-575x558.png 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).

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 228.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 41 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 9 tap targets too small

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (33 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 33 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h5 and 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 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 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: 48 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8592
  • No XML sitemap

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

  • 8 links with vague text

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 59 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 59 pages on revolutionprep.com and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 121 characters

    Your meta description is 121 characters: “Get better grades and test scores with the best private tutoring, test prep, and math tutoring anywhere - Revolution Pr…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Unleashing the Brilliance Within Every Student”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Revolution Prep | Private Tutor | Online Tutoring”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. 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.revolutionprep.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 (748 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 40 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9686
  • Scrolls sideways on phones

    On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • No social proof

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 1,016 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,016 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More” and “Contact a Revolution Prep Advisor”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Mixpanel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 41 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 41 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

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