Speed

9 to fix59
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.4 s

    8 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 MB

    46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 477 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 327 ms

    327 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Vimeo 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 KiB

    3 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Document request latency

    66 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 249 ms

    249 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 249 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Real 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Your 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

    0.197

    The 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).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 169 ms

    169 ms

    Real visitors wait 169 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 140 ms

    140 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 140 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 80 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

5 to fixGoogle 9794
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 8584
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 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

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 1,500 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,500 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Apply”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Apply”, “Get in touch” and “Subscribe to our newsletter”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 unssc.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
