Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.

One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

13 to fix26
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.9 s

    67 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.9 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 1.2 MB

    45 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 14.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 14.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 4,987 HTML elements

    The page has 4,987 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (reddit, cloudfront.net and Google CDN and others), adding 1.8 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.

  • reddit adds 824 ms

    824 ms

    reddit costs a phone 824 ms of main-thread work and 26 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 165 KiB

    About 165 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 365 ms

    365 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 365 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • cloudfront.net adds 384 ms

    384 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 508 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 334 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 280 ms

    280 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 277 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 38 KiB

    38 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Improve image delivery

    77 KiB

    3 images could be 77 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Your largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Complete notes in under 3 minutes with template-driven effi…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 33.3 s

    33.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 352 ms

    352 ms

    Real visitors wait 352 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 60% slower for real visitors

    +60%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 194 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 494 ms

    494 ms

    Real visitors wait 494 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 273 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 273 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (88), other files 438 KiB (96) and fonts 367 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (45 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 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.6 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

8 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 27 text elements with low contrast

    27 text elements don'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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 134 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 9 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 196 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 196 pages on icanotes.com and 9 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Notes in 3 minutes. ICANotes: behavioral health EHR and EMR for mental health clinicians, not adapted from a general me…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Behavioral Health EHR and EMR Software for Mental Health Clinicians”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Mental Health EHR & Behavioral Health EMR Software | ICANotes”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.icanotes.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebPage.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.icanotes.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,066 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (9 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /support-hub and /knowledge-base-hub have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • 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

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 3574
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=27025428&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=d04ddc5f-d0fe-41a4-84ed-becdc808b2cc&bo=1&sid=5ade11f0cbd711f1ba3b47cdd6fe8145&vid=5ade1510cbd711f19e43b700d2fafdfe&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

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

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (icanotes.com).

  • Valid certificate (52 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon ECDSA 256 M04 verifies for icanotes.com and is valid for another 52 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://icanotes.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    icanotes.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    icanotes.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    icanotes.com was registered in Aug 1998 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    icanotes.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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.

  • About 2,332 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,332 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start Your 30-Day Free Trial”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Pricing” and “Book Demo”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 customer or partner logos, a star rating, 6 trust badges and “500+ reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Meta Pixel, Hotjar and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be icanotes.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{d}._spf.icanotes.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 47 cookies set on arrival

    47

    Opening the homepage sets 47 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 59 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 59 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
