semcil.org website review

Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 86 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (38 KiB).

1 image could be 91 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (shortpixel.ai and Google Fonts), adding 226 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.

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 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Welcome to Southeastern Minnesota Center for Independent Li…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.18 g of CO₂e: 21.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

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

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

The homepage links to 36 pages on semcil.org and 8 external pages.

There is no /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.

Your homepage links to /services/respite-homemaker, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

25 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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.

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

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

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

The homepage carries about 254 words of visible text.

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