Speed

10 to fix27
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 757 KiB

    About 757 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.3 s · 756 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (756 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 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 (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 676 ms

    676 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 676 ms of main-thread work and 690 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.

  • Google CDN adds 480 ms

    480 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 480 ms of main-thread work and 736 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

    300 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 209 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    19 KiB

    2 images could be 19 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 126 ms

    126 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 126 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    Your largest element takes 14.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Osaamisen tärkein kumppani Hakijalle Opiskelijalle Yrityksi…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.0 s

    17.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.366

    0.366

    The layout shifts by 0.366 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 900 ms

    900 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 900 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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 171 ms to 186 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • 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)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 191 ms

    191 ms

    Real visitors wait 191 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 784 ms

    784 ms

    Real visitors wait 784 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 65 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 65 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (24), images 401 KiB (7) and other files 370 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (106 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.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.81 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 18 tap targets too small

    18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 55 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is short (26 characters)

    Your meta description is only 26 characters: “Osaamisen tärkein kumppani”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 203 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 203 pages on vamk.fi and 19 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Osaamisen tärkein kumppani”.

  • Title: 33 characters

    Your title is a healthy 33 characters: “VAMK - Osaamisen tärkein kumppani”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vamk.fi/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.vamk.fi/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.vamk.fi/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 (1,022 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 14 pages share a meta description

    https://www.vamk.fi/en, https://www.vamk.fi/hakijalle, https://www.vamk.fi/hakijalle/koulutusalat, https://www.vamk.fi/hakijalle/koulutusalat/tekniikan-ala, https://www.vamk.fi/hakijalle/koulutusalat/liiketalouden-ala and https://www.vamk.fi/hakijalle/koulutusalat/sosiaali-ja-terveysala and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 143 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • 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 825 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 825 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 vamk.fi, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
