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
1.4 MB5 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Adobe TypeKit), adding 69 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
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: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 60 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 38 ms
38 msYour server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 TTFB: 2.3 s
2.3 sReal visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.0 s
6.0 sYour largest element takes 6.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “mother holding her newborn baby in a hospital room during t…”.
Real-user CLS: 0.14
0.14For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.14 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.0 s
6.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 34 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 34 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (18), fonts 460 KiB (10) and scripts 66 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
9 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: 9 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Only about 33 words
The homepage has only about 33 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
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More About Us” and “Swag Shop”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

No known trackers before consent

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