Speed

10 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.8 s · 614 KiB

    About 614 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    42 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (botco.ai, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.1 MB and 984 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 116 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (116 KiB).

  • botco.ai adds 480 ms

    480 ms

    botco.ai costs a phone 480 ms of main-thread work and 139 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.

  • Google CDN adds 316 ms

    316 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 316 ms of main-thread work and 736 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 · 72 KiB

    About 72 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,778 HTML elements

    The page has 1,778 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Improve image delivery

    33 KiB

    2 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    Your largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Services Everyone des…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 842 ms

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, 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).

6 checks passed

  • Real-user INP: 110 ms

    110 ms

    Real visitors wait 110 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: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 133 ms

    133 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 120 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 120 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (37), images 1.1 MB (32) and other files 354 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (714 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.91 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 109.4 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

6 to fixGoogle 8792
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 10 text elements with low contrast

    10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 10 tap targets too small

    10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 links without text

    6 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.

  • 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 62 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10080
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Home - EOSIS”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 148 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 148 pages on meridianprograms.com and 16 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “EOSIS is dedicated to meaningfully supporting patients, families and communities in their recovery from addiction and r…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://eosisrecovery.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and WebPage.

  • 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://eosisrecovery.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, sameAs (social profiles), description 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://eosisrecovery.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.

2 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 (1,023 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://eosisrecovery.com/location/eosis-anchorage and https://eosisrecovery.com/location/beauterre have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    https://eosisrecovery.com/seeking-care, https://eosisrecovery.com/self-assessment, https://eosisrecovery.com/professional-assessment, https://eosisrecovery.com/programs, https://eosisrecovery.com/detox and https://eosisrecovery.com/residential-programs and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 14 small tap targets

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 608 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 608 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Call Now 952 843 4149”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Call Now 952 843 4149” and “Call Now”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 62 testimonial or review blocks and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 7 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 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.

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