degroff-ortho.com website review

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (179 KiB).

About 182 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

Shopify costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.

4 images could be 68 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, good-apps.co and shop.app and others), adding 546 KiB and 123 ms of main-thread time.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

Contender_banner_1.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).

1 image (200 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

Your title is only 27 characters: “DeGroff Orthopedic Supplies”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 83 pages on degroff-ortho.com and 6 external pages.

https://degroff-ortho.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://degroff-ortho.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://degroff-ortho.com/collections/all, https://degroff-ortho.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://degroff-ortho.com/collections/spine, https://degroff-ortho.com/collections/knee, https://degroff-ortho.com/collections/foot-ankle and https://degroff-ortho.com/collections/hand-wrist and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://degroff-ortho.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 404 ()”.

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

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 or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 548 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
