Speed

10 to fix46
  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, growsurf.com and Facebook and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 1.2 MB

    31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 891 ms

    891 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 891 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 131 KiB

    About 131 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 357 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • growsurf.com adds 201 ms

    201 ms

    growsurf.com costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 585 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

    150 ms · 77 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 77 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 36.5 s

    36.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 36.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Organize your group. Collect money. One place.”.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 937 ms

    937 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 937 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 304 ms to 329 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 412 ms

    412 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 175 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (78), other files 1.0 MB (43) and fonts 640 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 190.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9393
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (62 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 62 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 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 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

    4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 53 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 53 pages on signupgenius.com and 17 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Create free sign up sheets, collect dues, run fundraisers, sell tickets, and more. Every way your group organizes and c…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Organize your group. Collect money. One place.”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “SignUpGenius: Free Sign Up Sheets, Fundraisers & Online Payments”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.signupgenius.com/sitemap_index.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 (740 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix78
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /index.cfm declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /index.cfm all use the title “SignUpGenius: Free Sign Up Sheets, Fundraisers & Online Payments”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /pricing has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /pricing 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9270
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=1696408607309042&ev=PageView&noscript=1.

  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 22 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Convert: TypeError: convert.$.getScript is not a function at global_javascript (https://cdn-4.convertexperiments.com/v1…”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.signupgenius.com/dashboard.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (signupgenius.com).

  • Valid certificate (84 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for signupgenius.com and is valid for another 84 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://signupgenius.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    signupgenius.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    signupgenius.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 18 years old

    18 years

    signupgenius.com was registered in May 2008 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    signupgenius.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • About 562 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 562 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: “Start Free” and “Get Started for Free”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Get Started for FreeStart Free” and “Get Started for Free”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a mx include:sendgrid.net include:_spf.sparkpostmail.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:7088586.spf0…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 5 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.

  • 30 cookies set on arrival
