Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
595 KiBAbout 595 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 307 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and studydex.dev), adding 13 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 678 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 8.0 s
8.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 660 ms
660 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 660 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 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.
3 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sYour largest element renders in 1.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “TutorDex is a community of independent tutors, formed follo…”.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 367 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 367 requests on a phone: other files 2.6 MB (317), scripts 1.1 MB (40) and fonts 167 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (32 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “First for Tutors - TutorDex”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (312 characters)
Your meta description is 312 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
15 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 15 pages on tutordex.dev and 0 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “First for Tutors - TutorDex”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://tutordex.dev/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://tutordex.dev/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
No llms.txt
There is no https://tutordex.dev/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
2 checks passed
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (586 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
