Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
10.3 s · 10.2 MB7 images could be 10.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, JSDelivr CDN and Google Fonts), adding 475 KiB and 106 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 122 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Document request latency
10 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 153 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 20.6 s
20.6 sYour largest element takes 20.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 20.6 s
20.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.2 s
6.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 60 ms to 63 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 11.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 11.9 MB in 28 requests
11.9 MBYour homepage downloads 11.9 MB in 28 requests on a phone: images 11.3 MB (13), scripts 319 KiB (6) and fonts 216 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images far larger than shown
8.8 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example officers_homepage.png at 2,917 px wide, shown at 286 px. Resized copies would save about 8.8 MB.
6 images in older formats
6 images (11.2 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (837 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.4 g of CO₂ per visit
3.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.39 g of CO₂e: 406.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Required ARIA attributes must be provided (1 element)
Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://tsaweb.org/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at tsaweb.org/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
23 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 23 pages on tsaweb.org and 3 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Technology Student Association”.
Title: 30 characters
Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Technology Student Association”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://tsaweb.org/.
AI search readiness
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 https://tsaweb.org/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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
https://tsaweb.org/about, https://tsaweb.org/students, https://tsaweb.org/educators, https://tsaweb.org/competitions, https://tsaweb.org/conferences and https://tsaweb.org/get-involved and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://tsaweb.org/home/privacy-policy-statement has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://tsaweb.org/tsa-calendar 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
5 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.
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
16 small tap targets
16 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:ital,wght@0,300..800;1,300..800&display=swap' violate…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 112 words
The homepage has only about 112 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
2 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn More” and “Start a Chapter”.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 tsaweb.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
