Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 14.2 MB62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14.2 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 13.3 MB26 images could be 13.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 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.
1,620 HTML elements
The page has 1,620 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook and Google Fonts), adding 128 KiB and 46 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 316 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 35 ms
35 msYour server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.27
0.27For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.27 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.426
0.426The layout shifts by 0.426 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s
4.1 sYour largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Rector Yaba College of Technology Dr. Engr. Ibraheem Adedot…”.
Real-user LCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 227 ms
227 msReal visitors wait 227 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 208 ms to 201 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Speed Index: 3.4 s
3.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 129 ms
129 msScripts block the page for only 129 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.3 MB in 65 requests
14.3 MBYour homepage downloads 14.3 MB in 65 requests on a phone: images 13.8 MB (26), scripts 187 KiB (19) and fonts 185 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images over 500 KB
6 images weigh 12.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
6 images far larger than shown
12.4 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example art6.jpg at 5,183 px wide, shown at 115 px. Resized copies would save about 12.4 MB.
20 images in older formats
20 images (13.4 MB) 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.
9 images below the first screen load straight away
9 images further down the page (12.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.05 g of CO₂e: 486.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
<marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used (1 element)
<marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 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.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
28 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 10 failed. 1 more 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.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
16 links with vague text
16 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at yabatech.edu.ng/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
125 internal links, 197 external
The homepage links to 125 pages on yabatech.edu.ng and 197 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 81 characters
Your meta description is 81 characters: “Yaba College of Technology, the first institution and best polytechnic in Nigeria”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Yabatech | Cradle of Higher Learning in Nigeria”.
Title: 33 characters
Your title is a healthy 33 characters: “Home | Yaba College of Technology”.
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://yabatech.edu.ng/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://yabatech.edu.ng/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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,608 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://yabatech.edu.ng/mgtwecm.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/tetfundphy.php and https://yabatech.edu.ng/tetfundict.php, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
2 pages without a title
https://yabatech.edu.ng/doc/tetfund_training.htm and https://yabatech.edu.ng/doc/tetfund_research.htm have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
12 pages without a meta description
https://yabatech.edu.ng/ejournal.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/yabatechallnews.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/vision.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/history.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/anthem.php and https://yabatech.edu.ng/strategic_plan/strategic_plan.html and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://yabatech.edu.ng/ejournal.php, https://yabatech.edu.ng/strategic_plan/strategic_plan.html, https://yabatech.edu.ng/doc/tetfund_training.htm and https://yabatech.edu.ng/doc/tetfund_research.htm have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://yabatech.edu.ng/anthem.php and https://yabatech.edu.ng/strategic_plan/strategic_plan.html have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 33 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
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.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Best practices
34 small tap targets
34 of 52 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: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
4 low-resolution images
4 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
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.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 358 words of copy
The homepage carries about 358 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Apply to YABATECH”, “Post UTME CBT Schedule” and “Book Development”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 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 yabatech.edu.ng, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
