Speed

4 to fix61
  • Improve image delivery

    1.5 MB

    4 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    732 KiB

    About 732 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • sproutvideo.com adds 4 ms

    4 ms

    sproutvideo.com costs a phone 4 ms of main-thread work and 500 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (piwik.pro, cloudfront.net and gtranslate.net and others), adding 848 KiB and 154 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Minify JavaScript

    70 KiB

    70 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 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.

  • 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: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 404 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.94

    0.94

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.94 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.898

    0.898

    The layout shifts by 0.898 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.3 s

    18.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Your largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Your privacy is important to us. We use cookies and other t…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 104 ms

    104 ms

    Real visitors wait 104 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 681 ms

    681 ms

    Real visitors wait 681 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 115 ms

    115 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 115 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.3 MB in 38 requests

    6.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 38 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (10), images 1.6 MB (5) and fonts 949 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (132 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.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.79 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.79 g of CO₂e: 214.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8388
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 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: 44 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9281
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Home” and “Care You Can Trust. Expertise You Deserve.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (210 characters)

    Your meta description is 210 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 62 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 62 pages on cvph.org and 11 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “University of Vermont Health | Home”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.uvmhealth.org/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.uvmhealth.org/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 (560 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9287
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the script 'https://www.clarity.ms/tag/ub7es5d0os' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "s…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://cvph.org goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://mychart.uvmhealth.org/.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (uvmhealth.org).

  • Valid certificate (136 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04 verifies for cvph.org and is valid for another 136 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cvph.org redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 78 days

    uvmhealth.org is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    uvmhealth.org 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

    uvmhealth.org'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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 12 years old

    12 years

    uvmhealth.org was registered in Jan 2014 through GoDaddy Corporate Domains, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

4 to fix63
  • 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 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 477 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 477 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Request an Appointment”, “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 9 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cvph.org 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 include:spf.uvmhn.org include:outboundmail.blackbaud.net include:49172430.spf…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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).
