One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

13 to fix57
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.8 s

    38 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 MB

    143 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28.3 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your 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 KiB

    24 images could be 529 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    457 KiB

    About 457 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 56 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Facebook 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 ms

    smatbot.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 KiB

    144 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 460 ms

    460 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 460 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 TTFB: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    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 image “Before SkillCircle: uncertain student. After: future-ready …”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 633 ms

    633 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 633 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 255 ms

    255 ms

    Real visitors wait 255 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 37% slower for real visitors

    +37%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 3.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

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

  • 8 images without width and height

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

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

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

    -15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 226 ms to 208 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011

    0.011

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 30.3 MB in 158 requests

    30.3 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    12 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 g

    By 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

8 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 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.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (2 elements)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 2 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 (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor 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. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 50 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: 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.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 382 internal links, 34 external

    The homepage links to 382 pages on skillcircle.in and 34 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Digital marketing, data science and AI courses across India, offline at SkillCircle centres and online, with live proje…”.

  • One H1 headline

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,552 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (17 KiB, 94 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without an H1

    /events/hunt-for-our-new-ai-agent, /executive-certification-in-ai-native-digital-marketing and /executive-certification-in-ai-native-data-science-analytics have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /executive-certification-in-ai-native-digital-marketing took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 199 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 7387
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://skillcircle.in/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http:…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 4 broken external links

    4 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.vtvindia.com/how-this-young-man-from-delhi-built-a-startup-with-a-turnover-of-rs-20-crore-from-rs-10000 (404).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

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

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (skillcircle.in).

  • 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://skillcircle.in redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 10 years old

    10 years

    skillcircle.in was registered in Apr 2016 through GoDaddy. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2031

    skillcircle.in is registered until Apr 2031.

Content and conversion

100
  • No form on the homepage

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

  • About 2,125 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,125 words of visible text.

9 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Call SkillCircle on 98991 40180” and “Talk to our Advisor”.

  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Join Franchise” and “Call SkillCircle on 98991 40180”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks, 11 customer or partner logos, a star rating, 6 trust badges and “74,356+ Students”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 6 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be skillcircle.in is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:zcsend.in ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
