Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.3 s · 892 KiBAbout 892 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
5.2 s46 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.2 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.8 s · 548 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (548 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 58). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ceros.site and Hubspot and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 674 KiB8 images could be 674 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 512 ms
512 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 512 ms of main-thread work and 852 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: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Hubspot adds 202 ms
202 msHubspot costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 452 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.
ceros.site adds 210 ms
210 msceros.site costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
21 KiBAbout 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 169 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 169 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (56), images 843 KiB (31) and fonts 690 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
image-24-1-768x765.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 137.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
21 links without text
21 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 28 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (182 characters)
Your meta description is 182 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.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
137 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 137 pages on antechdiagnostics.com and 27 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Better Petcare is in OUR DNA. Better veterinary diagnostics are what we love.”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Veterinary Diagnostics & Lab Services | Antech Diagnostics”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.antechdiagnostics.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and VeterinaryCare.
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.antechdiagnostics.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (1,140 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /in-house-diagnostics/allergy, whose canonical is /reference-lab/diagnostics/allergy. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/reference-lab has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 88 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Every page has a meta description
All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
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 403 (Forbidden)”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
9 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://antechdiagnostics.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
2 redirects before the homepage
Opening https://antechdiagnostics.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.
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 (antechdiagnostics.com).
Valid certificate (45 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for antechdiagnostics.com and is valid for another 45 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 54 links work
All 54 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 14 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
antechdiagnostics.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.
DNSSEC is off
antechdiagnostics.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 27 years old
27 yearsantechdiagnostics.com was registered in Apr 1999 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
antechdiagnostics.com is registered until Apr 2027.
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 758 words of copy
The homepage carries about 758 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Request Demo”, “Register” and “Contact”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx ip4:208.185.219.5 include:spfa.vca.com include:amazonses.com include:sendgrid.net include:spf.protection.outl…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
34 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 34 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
