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
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 1.7 MB46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Vimeo and Clarity and others), adding 2.8 MB and 511 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
590 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
477 KiBAbout 477 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 327 ms
327 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 433 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.
Vimeo adds 75 ms
75 msVimeo costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
178 KiB3 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Document request latency
66 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Server response: 249 ms
249 msYour server sent the HTML in 249 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user LCP: 5.1 s
5.1 sReal visitors wait 5.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.9 s
3.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 8.4 s
8.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.
Time to Interactive: 10.3 s
10.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sYour largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “General Assembly Adopts Resolution Endorsing the Merger of …”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.2 s).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.197
0.197The layout shifts by 0.197 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 160 ms to 161 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 80 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 80 requests on a phone: other files 1.9 MB (15), images 1.5 MB (40) and scripts 964 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (807 KiB) 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (827 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
334 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example EP-6---Afghanistan-V2 (1)_0.png at 440 px wide, shown at 68 px. Resized copies would save about 334 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.29 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 155.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
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 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores 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.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and 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.
116 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 116 pages on unssc.org and 7 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Homepage”.
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “UNSSC | United Nations System Staff College”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.unssc.org/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.unssc.org/sitemap.xml.
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.unssc.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 (1,310 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
https://www.unssc.org/individual-learning, https://www.unssc.org/learning-and-advisory-services-un-system, https://www.unssc.org/learning-and-training-un-system, https://www.unssc.org/tailored-solutions, https://www.unssc.org/digital-learning and https://www.unssc.org/academic-partnerships and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://www.unssc.org/focus-areas/peace-security, https://www.unssc.org/focus-areas/human-rights, https://www.unssc.org/focus-areas/sustainable-development, https://www.unssc.org/focus-areas/leadership-management and https://www.unssc.org/focus-areas/change-and-transformation have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
