Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 514 KiBAbout 514 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 309 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (309 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 77). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and website-files.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 997 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 422 ms
422 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 422 ms of main-thread work and 504 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
website-files.com adds 120 ms
120 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 679 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
150 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 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.
Improve image delivery
97 KiB5 images could be 97 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
34 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 77 but mobile only 44. 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.

Core Web Vitals
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.

Real-user FCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s
15.8 sYour largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “A new model for clinical development is taking shape where …”.
Time to Interactive: 16.4 s
16.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 697 ms
697 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 697 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 126 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 126 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (39), images 559 KiB (27) and other files 245 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6a7baaca04d2d5a5bac6934e_Tufts agent eNPV-p-500.jpg 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 in older formats
1 image (40 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 84.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
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.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Medable Clinical Trial Platform (Agentic AI, eCOA, and DCT solutions)”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Clinical development, meet agentic AI.” and “Medable's 1:1:1 vision”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (179 characters)
Your meta description is 179 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Corporation and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
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.
71 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on medable.com and 9 external pages.
3 checks passed
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.medable.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.medable.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.
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.
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 (867 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.medable.com/.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 distorted image

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
17 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 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.
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 771 words of copy
The homepage carries about 771 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and X (Twitter) Ads (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.
24 cookies set on arrival
24Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
49 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 49 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
