Speed

9 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.8 s · 710 KiB

    About 710 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.6 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Weebly, Google Tag Manager and atlasams.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    787 KiB

    13 images could be 787 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Weebly adds 586 ms

    586 ms

    Weebly costs a phone 586 ms of main-thread work and 795 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 329 KiB

    34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (329 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 476 ms

    476 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 476 ms of main-thread work and 861 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 994 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    39 KiB

    About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 57. 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.

  • 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Your largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE TECHNOLOGY AND ​MANUFACTURING ​ASSOCIATION JOBS BOARD E…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.9 s

    14.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 231 ms

    231 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 231 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 7 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix65
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 80 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 80 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (29), scripts 1.3 MB (22) and fonts 92 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 11 images in older formats

    11 images (989 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    42 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cw-logo-color_orig.jpg at 2,166 px wide, shown at 349 px. Resized copies would save about 42 KiB.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (137 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 7886
  • Images must have alternative text (5 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 48 tap targets too small

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

  • 9 text elements with low contrast

    9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (2 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 31 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8373
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (87 characters)

    Your title is 87 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Technology & Manufacturing Association - Technology and Manufacturing Association | TMA”.

  • 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.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 119 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 119 pages on tmaillinois.org and 20 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 81 characters

    Your meta description is 81 characters: “Technology and Manufacturing Association 1651 Wilkening Road Schaumburg, IL 60173”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.tmaillinois.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 /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 (347 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    /related-theory-apprentice.html and /manufacturing-leadership-program-mlp.html have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 21 small tap targets

    21 of 48 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

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.

Security and trust

4 to fix64
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.tmaillinois.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://tmaillinois.org does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (tmaillinois.org).

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for tmaillinois.org and is valid for another 89 days.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    tmaillinois.org 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

    tmaillinois.org'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 13 years old

    13 years

    tmaillinois.org was registered in Oct 2013 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    tmaillinois.org is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • 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 510 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 510 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: “Contact Us” and “Join the Community”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Join the Community” and “Join tMA”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:relay1.weblinkinternational.com include:_spf.google.com include:spf.c…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 1.8.3, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
