Improve image delivery
31.3 s · 8.2 MB11 images could be 8.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 31.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 449 KiBAbout 449 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 120 ms
120 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 978 KiB and 470 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
100 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 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.

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 287 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 37.8 s
37.8 sYour largest element takes 37.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “sober inspiration”.
Time to Interactive: 37.8 s
37.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 37.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.0 s
5.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 250 ms
250 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 250 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.3 MB in 33 requests
9.3 MBYour homepage downloads 9.3 MB in 33 requests on a phone: images 8.3 MB (11), scripts 781 KiB (13) and fonts 120 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images over 500 KB
6 images weigh 7.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
9 images far larger than shown
6.7 MB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example wrapper-sober-inspiration.png at 5,956 px wide, shown at 571 px. Resized copies would save about 6.7 MB.
10 images in older formats
10 images (8.3 MB) are 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (2.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit
2.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.63 g of CO₂e: 316.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
28 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://ecoverysoftware.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at ecoverysoftware.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
12 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 12 pages on ecoverysoftware.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Streamline operations in your sober or recovery home with out intuitive management Saas. Handle occupancy, billing, com…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Sober Living Management Software for Recovery Homes”.
Title: 55 characters
Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Affordable Sober House Management and Recovery Software”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
AI search readiness
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 https://ecoverysoftware.com/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.

Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (391 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages share a title
/, https://ecoverysoftware.com/features, https://ecoverysoftware.com/contact, https://ecoverysoftware.com/termsofUse, https://ecoverysoftware.com/Contact and https://ecoverysoftware.com/security all use the title “Affordable Sober House Management and Recovery Software”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages share a meta description
https://ecoverysoftware.com/features, https://ecoverysoftware.com/contact, https://ecoverysoftware.com/termsofUse, https://ecoverysoftware.com/Contact and https://ecoverysoftware.com/security use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://ecoverysoftware.com/security has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://ecoverysoftware.com/contact and https://ecoverysoftware.com/Contact have 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 5 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 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 387 words of copy
The homepage carries about 387 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More!”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “CONTACT”, “Learn More!” and “Schedule”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ecoverysoftware.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
