Speed

10 to fix44
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.9 s · 1.2 MB

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.6 s · 853 KiB

    About 853 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 42). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,118 HTML elements

    The page has 3,118 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, netomi.com and Optimizely and others), adding 1.4 MB and 850 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    950 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 950 ms).

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 333 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 256 ms

    256 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 282 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.

  • netomi.com adds 142 ms

    142 ms

    netomi.com costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 422 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 · 46 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    52 KiB

    1 image could be 52 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    41 KiB

    About 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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

8 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    Your largest element takes 16.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By clicking “Accept All Cookies”, you agree to the storing …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.8 s

    23.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.8 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 263 ms to 288 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user CLS: 0.08

    0.08

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.08 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 665 ms

    665 ms

    Real visitors wait 665 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.038

    0.038

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.038, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 136 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 136 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (56), fonts 545 KiB (2) and other files 155 KiB (59). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    51 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Zz1kY2NlOTk2NjZiOGUxMWVmOWZmMmNlMjAwYWExNzJlNg== at 3,191 px wide, shown at 160 px. Resized copies would save about 51 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (52 KiB) is 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 103.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 7893
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8583
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (7 characters)

    Your title is only 7 characters: “CompTIA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Open Graph partly set

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

  • 59 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 59 pages on testout.com and 9 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “CompTIA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.comptia.org/en-us/lp/testout/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage.

  • 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.comptia.org/en/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.

3 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 (893 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.comptia.org/llms.txt (1 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.comptia.org/en-us/nonprofit has 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 28 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

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

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://ad.doubleclick.net/ccm/s/collect?auid=2022489954.1792703743&gtm=45E92e6al0v9205670028za204zd9205…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    36 of 40 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • Only about 161 words

    The homepage has only about 161 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop products”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop products”, “Shop” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 33 cookies set on arrival

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) 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 testout.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
