Speed

8 to fix78
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 134 KiB

    About 134 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and squarespace-cdn.com), adding 1.6 MB and 419 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    170 ms · 353 KiB

    About 353 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.

  • Squarespace adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 969 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    332 KiB

    7 images could be 332 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 605 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

    150 ms · 96 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 96 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 173 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 400 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 69 ms

    69 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 69 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix77
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

3 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 89 ms

    89 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 89 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (100 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 60.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 61 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 61 requests on a phone: scripts 894 KiB (39), images 565 KiB (7) and stylesheets 164 KiB (9). That is a lean page.

  • 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

Google 98100
  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8573
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Adelsperger Orthodontics”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Welcome!”, “Adelsperger Advantage” and “Our Doctors”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 24 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on adelspergerortho.com and 7 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

  • 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.adelspergerortho.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 (866 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /about, /services-content, /get-started, /contact and /faq-1 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /about has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /contact has 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.

  • 5 internal pages checked

    We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 5 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10092
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/6a749642e0b1be164c564bc5/12/5c5a…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (adelspergerortho.com).

  • Valid certificate (34 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for adelspergerortho.com and is valid for another 34 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://adelspergerortho.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 12 links work

    All 12 links checked from your homepage (7 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    adelspergerortho.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 23 years old

    23 years

    adelspergerortho.com was registered in Sep 2003 through Squarespace Domains LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    adelspergerortho.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    adelspergerortho.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 831 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 831 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Get Started”, “Contact” and “Contact Us”.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be adelspergerortho.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
