fryemedctr.com website review

9 images could be 826 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (326 KiB).

About 189 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

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

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and perfalytics.com and others), adding 650 KiB and 339 ms of main-thread time.

About 90 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

7 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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.

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.

Your largest element takes 12.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FIND A DOCTOR Find Specialties Schedule Appointment Find Lo…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 83 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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

Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 images (817 KiB) 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.

5 images further down the page (817 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example hudson-gentry-testimony.png at 1,080 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 165 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 65.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

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

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

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

The homepage links to 92 pages on fryemedctr.com and 5 external pages.

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.

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.

/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and /home all use the title “Frye Regional Medical Center | Hickory, NC Hospital”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/find-a-doctor/results and /find-a-doctor have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/find-a-doctor/results and /find-a-doctor have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

12 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*) in CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`…”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.prd.guideforproviders.net/v2/css/main.css' from origin 'https://www.fryemedctr…”.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.fryemedctr.com/find-a-doctor/results?defaultSort=true (500).

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

HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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

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

fryemedctr.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.

fryemedctr.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.

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.

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 507 words of visible text.

fryemedctr.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

fryemedctr.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (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.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
