Needs attention

Overall website health

The school has something most martial arts sites lack: years of real content, real photos, a full class schedule, and a teacher with a genuine lineage. Right now, though, every visitor is stopped by a browser security warning before the site even loads, and behind that the site runs on a theme from about 2013. The warning is a small technical fix with a very large payoff. The rest is a refresh, not a rescue.

Strong Opportunity Needs attention

Your site at a glance

Beyond the homepage, here is how the whole site is put together. It is a deep site with a long history, and the pages a new student looks for first are the thinnest part of it.

  • The Learn section (philosophy, history, weapons, styles, Chinese language) is rare on a school site and is exactly the kind of depth that earns search traffic and credibility.
  • Every page is one or two clicks from the homepage, and the site publishes a working XML sitemap that robots.txt points to.
  • Four Lessons pages (adult, kids, Taiji) exist but are not in the menu, so visitors rarely reach them.
  • There is no way to sign up, request a trial class, or see tuition anywhere on the site. The only path is a phone call.

Your nine-point scorecard

Every Akamai web performance report looks at the same nine areas: the things that decide whether a website earns trust, gets found, and turns visitors into students. Each area is scored out of 100, and together they average to the overall score above. Click any card to read the full explanation of that area.

01Design & Brand Consistency Needs attention

Does the site look current, trustworthy, and unmistakably yours? For a martial arts school, the website is often the first look a parent gets at the school, and they read polish as a sign of how the classes are run.

Working

The brand and the photos are genuine

The calligraphy logo, the bilingual school name, and the photos of real students in the real school are all assets. Many schools use stock photos; this one shows the actual training floor and the people on it.

Gap

The theme shows its age

The site runs the Vantage theme with a page builder, in a boxed layout on a wood-grain texture. That look was common around 2013 and now reads as an older site, even though the news posts run through 2025.

Gap

The welcome paragraph is hard to read

The opening paragraph is set in a decorative display font, centered, across the full page width. Decorative fonts work for headings; at paragraph length they slow reading down, and centered lines make it harder still.

Why this matters for your students

A parent comparing schools decides quickly whether a place feels current and well run. The school already has the hard part, which is real photos and a real story. Putting them in a modern, clean layout is what lets that quality show.

02SEO & Search Visibility Needs attention

Can families find the school when they search Google for kung fu, wushu, or Tai Chi in Tulsa? The setup is mostly correct, which makes the one broken piece especially costly.

✓Page title ✓Meta description ✓XML sitemap ✕Valid certificate on www ✕Section headings ✕Image descriptions
Working

A clear, local page title

The homepage title is Luohan Wushu Kung Fu Center - Chinese Martial Arts in Tulsa, which names what the school teaches and where. The meta description, the canonical link, and an XML sitemap listed in robots.txt are all in place.

Gap

The address Google indexes shows a security error

The site tells Google its real address is www.luohanwushu.com, and every visit is redirected there. The security certificate only covers luohanwushu.com without the www, so that address fails the browser's security check. Search engines tend to drop or demote pages that fail it, and anyone who clicks a search result lands on a warning.

Gap

No section headings on the homepage

The homepage has one main headline and then jumps straight to small headings, with no section headings in between. Section headings are where phrases like "kids kung fu classes in Tulsa" or "Tai Chi for adults" carry the most weight.

Gap

Most images have no description

Of 66 images on the homepage, 60 have an empty description. Gallery and class photos described in plain words ("children's wushu class, Tulsa") are an easy way to show up in image search.

Why this matters for your students

When a Tulsa parent searches "kung fu classes near me," these signals help decide whether the school appears. The local targeting is already right. Fixing the certificate is the step that lets that work count, and headings and image descriptions add to it.

03AI & Generative Search (GEO) Needs attention

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI "where can my kid learn kung fu in Tulsa?", can it find, understand, and confidently recommend the school? This is the newest way people find local businesses.

What an AI assistant can actually tell a student about you
Can read today
  • ✓Structured data exists (schema.org)

  • ✕"Martial arts school / LocalBusiness" type
  • ✕Address and phone in readable form
  • ✕Class hours
  • ✕Programs and age groups
  • ✕Ratings and reviews
Working

The data foundation is there

The site already outputs structured data describing the website and the organization. The plumbing exists, so extending it is a small job.

Working

There is real substance to quote

The Learn section and the program descriptions give an AI assistant genuine detail about the school's style, lineage, and teaching. Most schools have none of this.

Gap

The data does not say what the school is

The structured data is generic: a "website" and an "organization." There is no local business or sports school type, no address, no phone, no hours, and no list of programs in a form an AI can read reliably.

Why this matters for your students

More people now ask an AI assistant for a recommendation instead of scrolling search results, and those tools favor businesses with clear, structured details. The school has more real content than most competitors, so labeling it properly could put it at the top of those answers.

04Content & Messaging Opportunity

Is it immediately clear who the school is for and why someone should train here? A new student decides in seconds, and their first questions are practical ones.

Questions a new student looks for: answered on the site?
3 of 6covered
✓Who teaches here (Sifu Luo's background)
✓Which programs exist, by age
✓When classes meet
✕What it costs
✕How to try a first class
✕What other students and parents say
Working

Authentic, detailed content

The site explains Sifu Luo's background on the Hubei professional wushu team, describes each program by age and level, publishes a full weekly schedule, and has a whole education section on philosophy, history, weapons, and language. That depth is a real strength.

Gap

No tuition, trial offer, or reviews

Nowhere on the site does a visitor learn what classes cost, whether a first class is free, or what current students and parents think. Those are the first three things most families want to know.

Gap

A few details disagree

The children's class for ages 4 to 6 is called Little Dragon on the Program page and Little Panda on the Schedule. The Contact page gives the location as "northwest corner of 711st and Lewis." Several schedule slots read TBA.

Why this matters for your students

People sign up when their practical questions are answered before they have to call. The school's story is already well told. Adding the cost, the first step, and a few student voices turns that story into enrollments.

05User Journey & Conversion Needs attention

Can a visitor get from landing on the site to booking a first class without friction? Every extra step between interest and that first visit quietly costs students.

The path from search to first class: where it breaks
Step 1 ✕
Opens the site: browser shows a security warning
Step 2 ✓
Finds the phone number and address
Step 3 ✓
Checks the class schedule
Step 4 ✕
Requests a trial: phone only, no form
Working

Contact details sit on every page

The address, phone number, and Facebook link sit at the top of every page, and the homepage includes a map. A visitor who gets past the warning can reach the school quickly.

Gap

Most visitors never reach the site

Typing the address or clicking a search result leads to the browser's "Your connection is not private" page. Getting past it takes deliberate clicks most people will not make, so they go back and choose another school.

Gap

The only next step is a phone call

There is no contact form, trial-class request, or online signup anywhere on the site. Someone browsing at 10pm, or a parent who prefers not to call, has no way to take the next step in that moment.

Why this matters for your students

Fixing the warning reopens the front door. A simple trial-class request form then catches the visitors who are ready but not ready to call, which is most of them.

06Trust & Credibility Needs attention

Are the signals there that tell a first-time visitor the school is legitimate and active? Parents especially look for proof before they bring a child in.

Trust signals a new student scans for
Security warning on every visit
Teacher's credentials and lineage
Real street address
Recent news (2025)
No reviews shown
Working

The credentials are real and visible

Sifu Luo's professional team background, more than 30 years in Tulsa, and students who went on to national and world competition are all stated on the homepage. A recent 2025 Thanksgiving post shows the school is active.

Gap

Browsers label the site unsafe

The certificate was renewed on October 15, 2026 but only covers the address without www, while the site redirects everyone to the www address. Browsers respond with a full-page warning that the connection is not private. For a site that families visit, that warning does more damage than any design issue.

Gap

Reviews are not surfaced

Reviews from students and parents are the most persuasive signal for a local school, and none appear on the site. Bringing a few Google or Facebook reviews onto the homepage would do real work.

Why this matters for your students

A security warning tells a parent the site may be unsafe before they learn anything about the school. Clearing it, and then adding a few reviews, puts the school's genuine reputation in front of visitors instead of a warning screen.

07Accessibility & ADA Opportunity

Can everyone use the site, including people with screen readers or who navigate by keyboard? The issues here are few and specific.

Automated accessibility scan: 6 issues found
5 serious
1 moderate
AAAAAA
Web accessibility grade
"AA" is the accessibility grade the law effectively expects a business website to meet. Five serious problems, mainly links and controls with no readable name, keep the site below it.
Working

A short, fixable list

Six issues is a small count for a site this size, and the page declares its language and sets a proper mobile viewport. The foundation is sound.

Gap

Links and controls with no name

Three links, one button, and the photo lightbox have no readable label, so a screen reader announces them as "link" or "button" with nothing more. These come from the slider and lightbox plugins.

Gap

A skipped heading level

The homepage jumps from the main headline to a small heading, skipping levels. Screen-reader users navigate by headings, so the page structure is harder to follow.

Why this matters for your students

These fixes help visitors who use assistive technology, and they reduce exposure to the accessibility demand letters now aimed at small local businesses. Most of them come from two plugins, so a rebuild or plugin swap clears them together.

08Mobile & Responsiveness Opportunity

Does the site work and look right on a phone? Most people looking for a local class search from their phone.

Working

The layout adapts

The theme is responsive: the menu collapses to a single button, the content stacks into one column, and nothing scrolls sideways.

Gap

The first screen is mostly header

On a phone, the logo, address, and Facebook link fill roughly half the screen before the menu and photo appear. A visitor sees no headline, no program, and no call to action until they scroll.

Gap

The phone number is not a tap-to-call button

The phone number is shown as text in the header. On a phone, a clear call button is the fastest way from interest to a conversation.

Why this matters for your students

The site already works on a phone, so this is refinement. A compact header and a visible "Call" or "Try a class" button put the next step in front of a mobile visitor right away.

09Speed & Performance Needs attention

Does the site load fast enough to keep people from leaving before it appears? Visitors start leaving after about three seconds.

40/100
Needs attention
~4.2sFirst content appears
~6.5sFully loaded
2.5MBDownloaded per visit
Working

The server itself is current

The site runs a current version of WordPress on PHP 8.2, so the underlying platform is up to date and the slowness comes from what sits on top of it.

Gap

It takes over 4 seconds to show anything

The first content appears after about 4.2 seconds and the page finishes loading at about 6.5 seconds, measured on a fast connection. On a phone over cellular it will be slower.

Gap

Heavy plugins and images

Each visit downloads about 800KB of JavaScript (analytics, the lightbox, the slider, jQuery, and Google Maps) and about 1.3MB of images. The wood-grain background texture alone is 446KB, larger than any photo on the page.

Why this matters for your students

A slow site loses visitors before they see anything. Removing the background texture, compressing images, and loading the map only when needed would cut the weight sharply without changing what the page shows.

If you do three things

The highest-impact fixes first

You don't have to tackle everything at once. Ranked by impact for effort, here's where to start.

1

Fix the security certificate so the www address is covered

Reissue the certificate to cover both luohanwushu.com and www.luohanwushu.com, or point WordPress at the address the certificate already covers. You can adjust this in the hosting control panel.

Effort: minimal · Impact: critical
2

Add a trial-class form, tuition, and a few reviews

Give visitors a way to request a first class without calling, state what classes cost (or that a first class is free), and show a handful of real reviews. Fix the Little Dragon and Little Panda naming and the address typo at the same time.

Effort: moderate · Impact: high
3

Refresh the design and lighten the page

Move the school's photos and content into a modern layout without the wood-grain background, slider, and lightbox plugins. That one change addresses the dated look, the slow load, and most of the accessibility issues together.

Effort: significant · Impact: high
