Speed

8 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.0 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 202 KiB

    About 202 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 634 KiB

    7 images could be 634 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 86). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    550 ms · 234 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (234 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 557 KiB

    About 557 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.

  • Minify CSS

    310 ms · 12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 1,705 HTML elements

    The page has 1,705 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Google Analytics and Google Fonts and others), adding 365 KiB and 204 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 86 but mobile only 58. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 688 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 238 ms

    238 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 238 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Real visitors wait 4.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    Your largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.7 s

    20.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 22 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 95 ms

    95 ms

    Real visitors wait 95 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 28% faster for real visitors

    -28%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.2 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 73 ms

    73 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 73 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix33
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 84 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 84 requests on a phone: images 5.2 MB (45), scripts 1.5 MB (11) and fonts 254 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    616 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1044269 at 4,489 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 616 KiB.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 images (926 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.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (771 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.02 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.02 g of CO₂e: 242.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7687
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

  • 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.

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 12 links without text

    12 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.

  • 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.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 12 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 7564
  • 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 (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “Home | Skål International”. 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 canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 135 internal links, 48 external

    The homepage links to 135 pages on skal.org and 48 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • 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://skal.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 https://skal.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 (793 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://skal.org/structure, https://skal.org/executive-committee, https://skal.org/general-secretariat, https://skal.org/past-presidents, https://skal.org/overview and https://skal.org/auditors and 8 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 60 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 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7788
  • 8 small tap targets

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

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 distorted image

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 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 470 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 470 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: “Join Skål”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Join Skål”, “Join Skål International” and “Order of Skål Merit”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Umami.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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