Speed

9 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.9 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 2.9 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, Google Tag Manager and posthog.com and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 823 KiB

    About 823 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 463 KiB

    14 images could be 463 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • website-files.com adds 650 ms

    650 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 650 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 295 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 246 ms

    246 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 246 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    244 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (244 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 59 KiB

    About 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    58 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix58
  • Time to Interactive: 18.3 s

    18.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Your largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “NASW JobLink career center, built on Web Scribble career ce…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 613 ms

    613 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 613 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 26 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 86 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 86 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (24), images 590 KiB (24) and fonts 345 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    183 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 6a95be264257a6ac9cb2824f_logo-aom.png at 594 px wide, shown at 150 px. Resized copies would save about 183 KiB.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (419 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (29 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.84 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 101.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (24 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10081
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Career Center & Job Board Software for Associations | Web Scribble”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (174 characters)

    Your meta description is 174 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 51 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on webscribble.com and 2 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We build the career center. You build the careers.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.webscribble.com/.

  • 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://www.webscribble.com/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 /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 (680 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /increase-member-engagement and /higher-education/improve-student-success have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 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.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • 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 459 words of copy

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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