Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.8 s · 708 KiBAbout 708 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 181 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (181 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Google Maps and others), adding 1.2 MB and 865 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 64 KiB2 images could be 64 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 348 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google CDN adds 179 ms
179 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 361 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 Maps adds 175 ms
175 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 175 ms of main-thread work and 350 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
34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 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: 11.1 s
11.1 sYour largest element takes 11.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 11.2 s
11.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 909 ms
909 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 909 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 6.2 s
6.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.264
0.264The layout shifts by 0.264 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Real-user TTFB: 914 ms
914 msReal visitors wait 914 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors
+13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 101 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 66 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 66 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (30), images 117 KiB (12) and fonts 55 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
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.
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 (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
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 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
87 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 87 pages on pivotphysicaltherapy.com and 22 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Pivot Physical Therapy Is Proudly Part of Athletico”.
Title: 63 characters
Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Pivot Physical Therapy Is Proudly Part of Athletico - Athletico”.
Canonical URL set

Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.
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://www.athletico.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.athletico.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 (558 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.athletico.com/patients/medical-records-request has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.athletico.com/employer-performance-solutions, whose canonical is https://www.athletico.com/for-medical-professionals/workers-compensation. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
