trnty.edu website review

5 images could be 969 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (654 KiB).

12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts and mybluehost.me), adding 124 KiB and 5 ms of main-thread time.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

troll_mascot_resized-737x1024.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example trinity_wordmark_white-1-scaled.png at 2,560 px wide, shown at 370 px. Resized copies would save about 55 KiB.

2 images (173 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 further down the page (67 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The homepage links to 21 pages on trnty.edu and 3 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.

There is no https://trnty.edu/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.

https://trnty.edu/academic-records, https://trnty.edu/teach-out, https://trnty.edu/financial-aid and https://trnty.edu/faq have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://trnty.edu/academic-records, https://trnty.edu/teach-out, https://trnty.edu/financial-aid and https://trnty.edu/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://trnty.edu/academic-records has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 4 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 68 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
