Speed

8 to fix54
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14.5 s · 2.8 MB

    102 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    9.2 s · 3.6 MB

    10 images could be 3.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 343 KiB

    About 343 KiB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 114 KiB

    About 114 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Optanon adds 229 ms

    229 ms

    Optanon costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.

  • 2,068 HTML elements

    The page has 2,068 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Cloudflare and hlx.page and others), adding 631 KiB and 239 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 54. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 569 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.9 s

    25.9 s

    Your largest element takes 25.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 84 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 87 ms

    87 ms

    Real visitors wait 87 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 394 ms

    394 ms

    Real visitors wait 394 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.062

    0.062

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.062, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 75 ms

    75 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 75 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

6 to fix19
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB in 121 requests

    5.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 121 requests on a phone: images 4.2 MB (61), scripts 989 KiB (29) and stylesheets 221 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images over 500 KB

    4 images weigh 3.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ondemand-card.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (3.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (1.2 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    labcorp-logo.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).

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.61 g of CO₂e: 192.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 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 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8595
  • 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.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 240 internal links, 49 external

    The homepage links to 240 pages on labcorp.com and 49 external pages.

8 checks passed

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

3 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 (1,129 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.labcorp.com/llms.txt (9 KiB, 50 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

100

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 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 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 611 words of copy

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

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

  • 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).

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 labcorp.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
