Speed

8 to fix81
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google CDN and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 81

    81/100

    Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 571 ms

    571 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 571 ms of main-thread work and 624 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 JavaScript

    619 KiB

    About 619 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    291 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (291 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 134 ms

    134 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.

  • website-files.com adds 81 ms

    81 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 81 ms of main-thread work and 297 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

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    About 19 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    45 KiB

    1 image could be 45 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 990 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix83
  • Time to Interactive: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 524 ms

    524 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 524 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.3 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Over the past 10 years and with over 2500 alumni, the Turin…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (46 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 51 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 51 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (17), fonts 206 KiB (7) and images 48 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9392
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10077
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Accredited Online Computer Programming & Coding School - Turing School”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Turing is a federally accredited coding & computer programming school. 94% of Turing graduates find tech industry jobs …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://turing.edu/.

  • 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.turing.edu/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://www.turing.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.

1 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'classList')”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 60 words

    The homepage has only about 60 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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