Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
700 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Improve image delivery
328 KiB4 images could be 328 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
106 KiBAbout 106 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 52 KiB and 1 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.

Mobile performance score: 98
98/100Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 198 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 3.5 s
3.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
5 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sYour largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Upskillr: free career assessment for Australians”.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
87 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example hero-home-D_PL6c6s.jpg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 87 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (158 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 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.24 g of CO₂e: 29.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 881 KiB in 46 requests
881 KiBYour homepage downloads 881 KiB in 46 requests on a phone: images 497 KiB (4), scripts 308 KiB (35) and fonts 50 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
