A markdown file at /llms.txt listing your most useful pages with one-line descriptions. It does not affect how AI assistants cite you in answers, and nobody has shown that it does. What it helps is agents reading your documentation directly: Anthropic supports it, Perplexity uses it to choose pages, and Cursor, Continue and Cline navigate docs with it. Worth doing for a documentation or API site, and safe to skip otherwise.

Speed & delivery

What makes the page slow, and what the loading experience measures.

! 4✓ 969% · fair
Rendered page
The page as it rendered on a mobile viewport during the performance test
Mobile, measured
The page as it rendered on a desktop viewport
Desktop, measured
LCP Good
1.32s

Largest Contentful Paint

Target ≤ 2.5s

What this measures

How long until the largest thing on screen, usually the hero image, video or headline block, has finished rendering. It is a proxy for "when did this page feel loaded".

What moves it: Serve the hero image in a modern format at the size it is displayed, preload it, and remove render-blocking CSS and JavaScript ahead of it. A slow server response delays it too, so check TTFB first.

INP Needs work
379ms

Interaction to Next Paint

Target ≤ 200ms

What this measures

How long the page takes to respond visibly after a tap, click or key press, measured across every interaction, not just the first. High INP is what makes a page feel unresponsive even once it looks ready.

What moves it: Break up long JavaScript tasks so the main thread is free to respond, defer work that is not needed for the interaction, and avoid large re-renders on every event.

CLS Good
0

Cumulative Layout Shift

Target ≤ 0.1

What this measures

How much visible content jumps around while the page loads. This is what makes someone tap the wrong thing because a banner or image pushed the layout down underneath their finger.

What moves it: Give images and video explicit width and height so the browser reserves the space, reserve room for ads and embeds, and avoid inserting content above what is already on screen.

FCP Good
1.05s

First Contentful Paint

Target ≤ 1.8s

What this measures

How long until anything at all appears, the first text or image painted. It separates "the page starts slowly" from "the biggest element is slow": a fast FCP with a slow LCP points at the hero, while both slow points at the server.

What moves it: Cut render-blocking CSS and JavaScript in the head, inline the styles needed for the first screen, and improve the server response time.

TTFB Good
587ms

Real-user response time

Target ≤ 800ms

What this measures

How long real visitors waited for the first byte of the response, the 75th percentile across everyone who actually loaded the page, not a single test from one location.

What moves it: Cache the response at the edge, host closer to your visitors, and reduce the work done before the first byte is sent, database queries, template rendering and third-party calls.

Server & domain

The server and the domain behind the page: protocol, network, registration and email records.

i 2✓ 360% · fair
SPF record

admissions.maricopa.edu has no SPF record, so nothing tells mail servers who may send email as this domain. Spoofed mail is easier, and genuine mail is likelier to land in spam.

How to fix
How to fix
Publish a TXT record starting v=spf1 that lists the services that send your mail. A domain that sends none: v=spf1 -all
DMARC policy

admissions.maricopa.edu has no DMARC record, so mail servers have no instruction for mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require one from bulk senders.

How to fix
Publish a TXT record at _dmarc.admissions.maricopa.edu, starting with v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected] to collect reports, then tighten to quarantine or reject.
HTTP/2 HTTP/2

Served over HTTP/2, which loads a page's files in parallel over one connection.

CDN Cloudflare

Served through Cloudflare, a CDN, so visitors get the page from a server near them.

Domain registration

The registry for .edu does not publish registration dates, so expiry and age are not shown.

IPv6
