medtree.co.uk website review

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 859 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

A phone's processor spends 9.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,972 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.8 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

About 749 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 320 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Shopify costs a phone 788 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 324 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

10 images could be 226 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (224 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 141 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 292 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (92), other files 934 KiB (119) and images 758 KiB (57). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 127.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

The homepage links to 694 pages on medtree.co.uk and 5 external pages.

https://medtree.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://medtree.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://medtree.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://medtree.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=211064171&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=c33eede0-9900-4ab1-a1f4-09be4e8c6efd&bo=1&sid=5080e2f0da5f11f1a28fc1b59b220269&vid=5080f6c0da5f11f184687dc1ee7e81b0&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'email')”.

Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 1,051 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
