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
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 50). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.1 s
A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
999 KiB19 images could be 999 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hs-sites.com and Hubspot and others), adding 1,016 KiB and 765 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce initial server response time
617 msReduce initial server response time. Google estimates savings of 617 ms on a phone.
Document request latency
600 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 600 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce unused JavaScript
514 KiBAbout 514 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 391 ms
391 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 446 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 · 115 KiBAbout 115 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
354 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (354 KiB).
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 351 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,880 HTML elements
The page has 1,880 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Server response: 717 ms
717 msYour server takes 717 ms to send the HTML. Google recommends under 600 ms; everything else waits for it.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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.
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.
Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors wait 2.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.5 s
9.5 sYour largest element takes 9.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Beds and Furniture Packages for healthcare facilities at Po…”.
Time to Interactive: 24.5 s
24.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 24.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.5 s
11.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 699 ms
699 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 699 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.4 s
2.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors
+19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 102 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 233 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 233 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (42), scripts 1.4 MB (133) and fonts 489 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (6 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
10 images without alt text
10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 form fields without a label
11 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names.
Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 8 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (212 characters)
Your meta description is 212 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
364 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 364 pages on pocketnurse.com and 18 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Pocket Nurse - Medical Supplies for Education”.
Title: 45 characters
Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “Pocket Nurse® Simulation & Education Supplies”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.pocketnurse.com/sitemap.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 /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 (1,072 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
11 small tap targets
11 of 22 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “[2026-10-24 06:24:31] [ERROR] Failed to load the "Cart2Quote_Quotation/js/view/miniquote" component.”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://info.pocketnurse.com/sales-2020.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (pocketnurse.com).
Valid certificate (44 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for pocketnurse.com and is valid for another 44 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://pocketnurse.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 58 links work
All 58 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 18 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
pocketnurse.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
pocketnurse.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old
29 yearspocketnurse.com was registered in Apr 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2031
pocketnurse.com is registered until Apr 2031.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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
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 338 words of copy
The homepage carries about 338 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: “CONTACT US” and “SHOP BY PROGRAM”.
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Sign In / Register”, “Catalog Request” and “Quick order”.
9 short forms
9 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be pocketnurse.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 : ip4:199.102.90.19 include:2847307.spf05.hubspotemail.net include:spf.protection.outlook.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
27 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
