Speed

8 to fix45
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 479 KiB

    About 479 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 s · 643 KiB

    11 images could be 643 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. 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, enzuzo.com and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.2 MB and 698 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 102 KiB

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

  • Google Tag Manager adds 475 ms

    475 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 475 ms of main-thread work and 703 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: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 913 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    84 KiB

    About 84 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    27 KiB

    27 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s

    16.4 s

    Your largest element takes 16.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to optimize your browsing experience for the…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.7 s

    16.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 482 ms

    482 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 482 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.151

    0.151

    The layout shifts by 0.151 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 89 ms to 90 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 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 99 ms

    99 ms

    Real visitors wait 99 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.

Images and page weight

5 to fix33
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    hero-img-0.png weighs 18.6 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    17.9 MB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example hero-img-0.png at 6,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 17.9 MB.

  • 14 images in older formats

    14 images (19.6 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.

  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 89 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 89 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (33), scripts 1.1 MB (28) and fonts 202 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (349 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 6582
  • 5 buttons without a name

    5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 20 images without alt text

    20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 15 links without text

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 12 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 7786
  • No H1 headline

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

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 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.

  • 130 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 130 pages on midatlanticretina.com and 18 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Retina specialists in PA, NJ, and DE. Our Wills Eye retina physicians and surgeons are the best retina ophthalmologists…”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Retina Specialist, Wills Eye Retina, Retina Ophthalmologist”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://midatlanticretina.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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://midatlanticretina.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 (926 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 5 pages share a meta description

    https://midatlanticretina.com/doctor/daniel-connors-md, https://midatlanticretina.com/doctor/jordan-d-deaner-m-d, https://midatlanticretina.com/doctor/david-fell-md, https://midatlanticretina.com/doctor/brett-foxman-md-fasrs and https://midatlanticretina.com/doctor/scott-foxman-md use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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 midatlanticretina.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
