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
Improve image delivery
29.1 s · 10.0 MB15 images could be 10.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 29.1 s faster on a phone.
hcaptcha.com adds 2.0 s
2.0 shcaptcha.com costs a phone 2.0 s of main-thread work and 2.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 23
23/100Your mobile performance score is 23 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hcaptcha.com, donorbox.org and Stripe and others), adding 6.0 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 MB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
donorbox.org adds 261 ms
261 msdonorbox.org costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 350 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Stripe adds 240 ms
240 msStripe costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
2,356 HTML elements
The page has 2,356 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google Tag Manager adds 190 ms
190 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.
PayPal adds 142 ms
142 msPayPal costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.
Reduce unused CSS
142 KiBAbout 142 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
57 KiB57 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 56 but mobile only 23. 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 45.7 s
45.7 sYour largest element takes 45.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “scrolling-image”.
Time to Interactive: 88.9 s
88.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 88.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 14.5 s
14.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s
1.5 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user INP: 328 ms
328 msReal visitors wait 328 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
54 images without width and height
54 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.186
0.186The layout shifts by 0.186 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 26.0 MB in 285 requests
26.0 MBYour homepage downloads 26.0 MB in 285 requests on a phone: images 14.1 MB (31), scripts 9.3 MB (108) and HTML 1.2 MB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images far larger than shown
7.5 MB10 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 685d5339ed0b261d38568d70.webp at 7,351 px wide, shown at 258 px. Resized copies would save about 7.5 MB.
6 images over 500 KB
6 images weigh 6.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
About 7.4 g of CO₂ per visit
7.38 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.38 g of CO₂e: 885.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
11 text elements with low contrast
11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (64 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 64 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 60 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
36 H1 headlines
There are 36 <h1> headlines (“US Institute Of Diplomacy And Human Rights”, “USIDHR” and “The Global Authority”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
71 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on usidhr.org and 18 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 95 characters
Your meta description is 95 characters: “USIDHR is the global standard in diplomacy and human rights education. Based in Washington, DC.”.
Title: 51 characters
Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “US Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights - USIDHR”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://usidhr.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://usidhr.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 (2,274 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a meta description
https://usidhr.org/about-us and https://usidhr.org/write_us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://usidhr.org/verifycredential has 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 44 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
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Every page has a meta description
All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.
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
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'open' of object '#<Window>'”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 842 words of copy
The homepage carries about 842 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Get Your Commemorative Coin” and “Contact Support”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Meta Pixel.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
39 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 39 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 usidhr.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
