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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 1,008 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,008 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 82 KiBAbout 82 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,562 HTML elements
The page has 1,562 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 66 KiB3 images could be 66 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Cloudflare), adding 10 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.
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: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 272 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
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s
7.3 sYour largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Il tuo futuro lavorativo comincia a Domani Lavoro. 5-6-7 no…”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s
4.1 sThe first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.9 s
5.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.4 s
7.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

Largest content (LCP) got 25% faster for real visitors
-25%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 183 ms
183 msScripts block the page for only 183 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (31 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.4 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: 1.5 MB in 46 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 46 requests on a phone: images 612 KiB (30), scripts 576 KiB (6) and fonts 228 KiB (5). 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
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 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:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.unibs.it/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
295 internal links, 34 external
The homepage links to 295 pages on unibs.it and 34 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Homepage”.
Title: 48 characters
Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Home | Università degli Studi di Brescia | UNIBS”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.unibs.it/it.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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://www.unibs.it/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 (1,412 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
https://www.unibs.it/en, https://www.unibs.it/it/area-riservata, https://www.unibs.it/it/infostudente, https://www.unibs.it/it/rubrica, https://www.unibs.it/it/ateneo/organizzazione/dipartimenti and https://www.unibs.it/it/ateneo/organizzazione/biblioteche and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 199 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves

Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
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
10 small tap targets
10 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 low-resolution images
4 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
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 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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 535 words of copy
The homepage carries about 535 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Matomo and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
1 other company contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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 unibs.it, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
