Speed
Improve image delivery
8.4 s · 2.4 MB29 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.7 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.6 s26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.8 s · 621 KiB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (621 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and salemove.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 893 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 362 ms
362 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 962 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 80 KiBAbout 80 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.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 942 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,709 HTML elements
The page has 1,709 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
salemove.com adds 123 ms
123 mssalemove.com costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 410 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 · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify CSS
17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.3 MB in 163 requests
7.3 MBYour homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 163 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (43), scripts 2.3 MB (52) and fonts 210 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (660 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
4 images far larger than shown
302 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example October-CD-Banner-v1.png.webp at 1,500 px wide, shown at 356 px. Resized copies would save about 302 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (105 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 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.08 g of CO₂e: 249.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 33 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 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Home”, “Rake Up the Savings!” and “TopLine is Hosting a Winter Gear Drive!”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (162 characters)
Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
217 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 217 pages on toplinecu.com and 22 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Credit Union in Minnesota | TopLine Financial Credit Union”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.toplinecu.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.toplinecu.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.toplinecu.com/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 (1,676 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

1 checks passed
Linked pages load

No opening hours

No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 589 words of visible text.

15 cookies set on arrival
15Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

34 other companies contacted

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