Speed

10 to fix40
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,133 HTML elements

    The page has 5,133 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 2.3 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and Facebook and others), adding 1.5 MB and 980 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    749 KiB

    About 749 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    540 KiB

    5 images could be 540 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    473 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (473 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 379 ms

    379 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 379 ms of main-thread work and 555 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    55 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    14 KiB

    About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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 JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.8 s

    24.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 331 ms

    331 ms

    Real visitors wait 331 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 221 ms to 236 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 16% faster for real visitors

    -16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 148 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 148 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (56), images 995 KiB (28) and fonts 170 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-17-at-00.27.41.jpeg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 125.0 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 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 9093
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (8 elements)

    <svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9272
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “World Central Kitchen | WCK”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (1050 characters)

    Your meta description is 1050 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “WebPage: keywords is an empty list”.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 52 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 52 pages on wck.org and 16 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://wck.org/.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://wck.org/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://wck.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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (548 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://wck.org/media, whose canonical is https://wck.org/resources/media. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 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.

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343209142&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=70c08d31-5d11-44e4-9972-962f6fb595c1&bo=1&sid=a2eca970d47c11f18177f5f7a1c4caa1&vid=a2ecb380d47c11f1ad56b17ea7d2f028&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 235 words

    The homepage has only about 235 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Contact” and “Join Kitchen Corps”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 46 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 46 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 wck.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
