Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.0 s · 2.3 MB113 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s30 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Improve image delivery
850 ms · 849 KiB3 images could be 849 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 169 KiBAbout 169 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, webtrends-optimize.com and Salesforce.com and others), adding 612 KiB and 533 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 127 KiBAbout 127 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
2,356 HTML elements
The page has 2,356 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 83 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 1.7 s

Server response: 76 ms
76 msYour server sent the HTML in 76 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 10.4 s
10.4 sYour largest element takes 10.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “NC Homepage headerimg”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 11.8 s
11.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 829 ms
829 msReal visitors wait 829 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 4.9 s
4.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 206 ms
206 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 206 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 97 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 135 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 135 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (20), scripts 875 KiB (75) and stylesheets 188 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (311 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
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (ImageObject, MedicalBusiness, MedicalWebPage and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “ImageObject: url is not an absolute URL ("https://nextcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/heart-tag.svg")”.
No social preview image

Best practices

1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
A 159-field form
Your longest form asks for 159 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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 647 words of copy
The homepage carries about 647 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
4 calls to action

7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
2 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
A consent management tool (Cookiebot) 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 nextcare.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
