Speed

7 to fix79
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Font display

    1.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.0 s).

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 851 KiB

    7 images could be 851 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, unog.ch and Google Analytics), adding 1.3 MB and 960 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 946 ms

    946 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 946 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79 (desktop: 35). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 KiB

    About 600 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    160 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    21 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (21 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 798 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 26 images without width and height

    26 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 327 ms

    327 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 327 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.143

    0.143

    The layout shifts by 0.143 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Your largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Play video for %AutoEntityLabel: 8ecc8122-9c4d-4d69-9509-63…”.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors

    +17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 146 ms to 172 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% faster for real visitors

    -18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

5 to fix57
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 62 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 62 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (14), images 1.2 MB (30) and fonts 444 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (1.1 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    2026 Annual Report hero banner_0.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).

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (621 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    174 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 2026 Annual Report hero banner_0.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 174 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8592
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (4 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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 (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 6155
  • Page is set to noindex

    The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noimageindex, notr…”: Google is told not to list this page at all.

  • No meta description

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

  • Blocked from indexing

    Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

  • No structured data

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

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 80 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 80 pages on ungeneva.org and 16 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “UN Geneva at 80:”.

  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Homepage | The United Nations Office at Geneva”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.ungeneva.org/en.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.ungeneva.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix73
  • Snippets are switched off

    The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noimageindex, notr…”, which tells Google, Bing and the AI answers built on them not to quote this page.

  • 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.ungeneva.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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (712 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.ungeneva.org/ar, https://www.ungeneva.org/zh, https://www.ungeneva.org/fr, https://www.ungeneva.org/ru, https://www.ungeneva.org/es and https://www.ungeneva.org/en/about and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://www.ungeneva.org/ar, https://www.ungeneva.org/zh, https://www.ungeneva.org/ru and https://www.ungeneva.org/es have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://www.ungeneva.org/ar, https://www.ungeneva.org/zh and https://www.ungeneva.org/ru have 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 (of 58 found) 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

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 629 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 629 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Blue Book”, “Join Our Events” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Matomo.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 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 ungeneva.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
