Speed
3,165 HTML elements
The page has 3,165 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 1.0 MB11 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 140 KiBAbout 140 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 321 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, fundraiseup.com and northbeam.io and others), adding 582 KiB and 495 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 27 KiBAbout 27 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
110 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (110 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.6 MB in 77 requests
12.6 MBYour homepage downloads 12.6 MB in 77 requests on a phone: media 10.0 MB (2), images 1.6 MB (18) and scripts 751 KiB (32). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
OPS-Lightbox-Upsell-Mobile-Evergreen.webp 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 (119 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 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit
3.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.58 g of CO₂e: 429.2 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
Images must have alternative text (3 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Operation Smile | Increasing Access to Safe Surgery and Cleft Care”.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("https://www.operationsmile.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/og-image.jpg")”.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

llms.txt published

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

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
