Speed

13 to fix39
  • Improve image delivery

    3.0 s · 1.2 MB

    12 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 726 KiB

    About 726 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 454 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (454 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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, hsappstatic.net and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 126 KiB

    About 126 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 724 ms

    724 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 724 ms of main-thread work and 929 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

    300 ms · 46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 315 ms

    315 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 315 ms of main-thread work and 248 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 303 ms

    303 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 279 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.

  • Hubspot adds 173 ms

    173 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 173 ms of main-thread work and 711 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 182 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).

  • 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

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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

10 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.9 s

    20.9 s

    Your largest element takes 20.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.0 s

    26.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.0 s

    11.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 658 ms

    658 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 658 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 38% slower for real visitors

    +38%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 171 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 28 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 171 ms

    171 ms

    Real visitors wait 171 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 19.3 MB in 150 requests

    19.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 19.3 MB in 150 requests on a phone: media 14.6 MB (1), scripts 1.9 MB (39) and images 1.9 MB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    CarousalBlob-Expeditions.png weighs 511 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 11 images in older formats

    11 images (1.4 MB) 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.

  • 11 images below the first screen load straight away

    11 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    10 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example homepage-WA-CA-Map-NoOlympusEverest.png at 1,224 px wide, shown at 382 px. Resized copies would save about 10 KiB.

  • About 5.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.48 g of CO₂e: 657.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8388
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

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

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 64 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 64 pages on summitps.org and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “A tuition-free top performing public charter school network opens to a diverse population of students that prepare them…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “College. Career. Life.”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Summit Public Schools - Free public charter schools in CA & WA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://summitps.org/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://summitps.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.

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 (1,180 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://summitps.org/who-we-are/summit-leadership and https://summitps.org/who-we-are/board-meetings 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 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    6 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6985
  • 10 small tap targets

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

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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: 9 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 1,454 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,454 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Join Our Team” and “Apply Now”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity and HubSpot.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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