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
Reduce unused JavaScript
16.5 s · 2.7 MBAbout 2.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 16.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
13.0 s · 5.8 MB155 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Legacy JavaScript
1.1 s · 209 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 209 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 12.5 s
A phone's processor spends 12.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6,297 HTML elements
The page has 6,297 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1,012 KiB and 795 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 279 ms
279 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 279 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.
Clarity adds 289 ms
289 msClarity costs a phone 289 ms of main-thread work and 28 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 29 KiB2 images could be 29 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
127 KiBAbout 127 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.3 MB in 404 requests
13.3 MBYour homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 404 requests on a phone: scripts 6.5 MB (166), other files 5.5 MB (206) and media 631 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit
3.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.76 g of CO₂e: 450.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (62 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 62 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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 crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
350 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 350 pages on tutorful.co.uk and 13 external pages.

No llms.txt
There is no https://tutorful.co.uk/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.
