Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 113 KiB5 images could be 113 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 70 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 44 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 143 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.1 s
6.1 sYour largest element takes 6.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Founded in 1987, Seedco is a national nonprofit organizatio…”.
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.
Speed Index: 5.1 s
5.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.1 s
6.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 20 ms
20 msScripts block the page for only 20 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
3 images in older formats
3 images (161 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (172 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.22 g of CO₂e: 26.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 807 KiB in 46 requests
807 KiBYour homepage downloads 807 KiB in 46 requests on a phone: images 438 KiB (8), scripts 181 KiB (22) and fonts 117 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
<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.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings should not be empty (3 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (15 characters)
Your title is only 15 characters: “Seedco – Seedco”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
36 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on seedco.org and 8 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Founded in 1987, Seedco is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing economic opportunity for people, bu…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://seedco.org/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://seedco.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://seedco.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 (327 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://seedco.org/about, https://seedco.org/about/our-board, https://seedco.org/about/our-team, https://seedco.org/communitypartners, https://seedco.org/about/funders and https://seedco.org/about/acacia-network and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
8 pages without an H1
https://seedco.org/about, https://seedco.org/communitypartners, https://seedco.org/about/funders, https://seedco.org/about/acacia-network, https://seedco.org/what-we-do and https://seedco.org/who-we-serve and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://seedco.org/about/funders has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
13 internal pages checked

Best practices

3 checks passed
No console errors

Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 292 words of copy
The homepage carries about 292 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 US”.
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Join The Seedco Team” and “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 seedco.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
