Render-blocking requests
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
3,075 HTML elements
The page has 3,075 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
710 KiB2 images could be 710 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 108 KiBAbout 108 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (adit.com and Google Fonts), adding 51 KiB and 23 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
14 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14 KiB).
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: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 96 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 50 ms
50 msYour server sent the HTML in 50 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

Largest content (LCP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

Speed Index: 4.5 s
4.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 4.9 s
4.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 92 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Artico-Dental.jpg weighs 759 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (759 KiB) is 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.
2 images far larger than shown
216 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Artico-Dental.jpg at 1,366 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 216 KiB.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 55.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 21 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 21 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (5), fonts 275 KiB (4) and stylesheets 124 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
16 text elements with low contrast
16 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (7 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
3 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 79 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (76 characters)
Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Dentist near me in Mesquite, Dallas & Duncanville, TX | Artico Dental + Kids”.
