Speed

13 to fix30
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.0 s · 760 KiB

    About 760 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.4 s · 756 KiB

    36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (756 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, fundraiseup.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 807 ms

    807 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 807 ms of main-thread work and 506 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

    450 ms · 132 KiB

    About 132 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • fundraiseup.com adds 473 ms

    473 ms

    fundraiseup.com costs a phone 473 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 501 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    411 KiB

    3 images could be 411 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Facebook adds 353 ms

    353 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 353 ms of main-thread work and 214 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.

  • formstack.io adds 312 ms

    312 ms

    formstack.io costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 380 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • 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 LCP: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Real visitors wait 7.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.9 s

    12.9 s

    Your largest element takes 12.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experien…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.6 s

    15.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 263 ms

    263 ms

    Real visitors wait 263 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors

    +29%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 180 ms to 250 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.2 s to 5.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 78 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 78 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (27), images 495 KiB (14) and fonts 201 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (321 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (264 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8392
  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8565
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Search for Common Ground”. 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.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 96 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 96 pages on sfcg.org and 23 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sfcg.org/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.sfcg.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 /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 (1,203 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /our-stance, /approach, /our-mission, /our-story, /our-global-leadership and /where-we-work and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    21 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 12-field form

    Your longest form asks for 12 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 408 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 408 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Subscribe” and “Love Anyway Shop”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • 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

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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