Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.8 s38 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.8 s.
Main-thread work: 8.9 s
A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,477 HTML elements
The page has 4,477 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 28.3 MB143 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28.3 MB).
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and smatbot.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 842 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
529 KiB24 images could be 529 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
457 KiBAbout 457 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 315 ms
315 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 315 ms of main-thread work and 180 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.
Facebook adds 309 ms
309 msFacebook costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 281 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
smatbot.com adds 206 ms
206 mssmatbot.com costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.
Minify JavaScript
144 KiB144 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Tap response (INP) got 15% faster for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 30.3 MB in 158 requests
30.3 MBYour homepage downloads 30.3 MB in 158 requests on a phone: media 26.9 MB (19), images 1.7 MB (45) and scripts 966 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images far larger than shown
381 KiB12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example skillcircle-meerut-centre-launch-hero.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 381 KiB.
11 images below the first screen load straight away
11 images further down the page (518 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (165 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.
About 8.6 g of CO₂ per visit
8.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.59 g of CO₂e: 1030.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
21 images without alt text
21 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
165 links without text
165 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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: 50 passed and 7 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

Valid certificate (50 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for skillcircle.in and is valid for another 50 days.
http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

No CAA record
skillcircle.in 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
skillcircle.in'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.
