Speed

9 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.9 s · 867 KiB

    About 867 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 445 KiB

    65 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (445 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 240 KiB

    3 images could be 240 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.9 MB and 804 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Google CDN adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 131 ms

    131 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 131 ms of main-thread work and 299 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

    150 ms · 48 KiB

    About 48 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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

4 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    Your largest element takes 16.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “PRA-TDC_Day1_Home_PRA.com_D2_3”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.5 s

    17.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 85 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 76 ms

    76 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 722 ms

    722 ms

    Real visitors wait 722 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 98 ms

    98 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 98 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.042

    0.042

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.042, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 121 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (38), images 651 KiB (27) and other files 440 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Frame 6.png 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).

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9796
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8580
  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “MPL ProAssurance Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“DEFENDING”, “MEDICINE” and “SINCE 1976”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (221 characters)

    Your meta description is 221 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 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.

  • 81 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 81 pages on proassurance.com and 17 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://proassurance.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://proassurance.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 (471 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://proassurance.com/tradeshows and https://proassurance.com/endorsements-and-annual-sponsorships use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://proassurance.com/endorsements-and-annual-sponsorships has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 318 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 318 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 proassurance.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
