Speed

6 to fix38
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 38

    38/100

    Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 423 KiB

    12 images could be 423 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 73 KiB

    About 73 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    500 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 284 KiB and 134 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    23 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 221 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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: 10.3 s

    10.3 s

    Your largest element takes 10.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Banner”. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.4 s).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.742

    0.742

    The layout shifts by 0.742 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.6 s

    10.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 81 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 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Real visitors wait 77 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 29 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix58
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 68 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 68 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (37), scripts 283 KiB (12) and fonts 177 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (1.9 MB) are 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.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    244 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example MP-headshot.jpeg at 1,024 px wide, shown at 321 px. Resized copies would save about 244 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 7688
  • 5 buttons without a name

    5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 28 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8583
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“How can we help you?”, “Earlier Breast Cancer Detection Is Here” and “CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 90 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 90 pages on pvhme.org and 4 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Penobscot Valley Hospital - Celebrating 50 Years of Caring”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://pvhme.org/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, 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://pvhme.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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://pvhme.org/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.

1 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.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://pvhme.org/providers, https://pvhme.org/leadership, https://pvhme.org/about-us/board-of-directors, https://pvhme.org/about-us/directions-to-pvh, https://pvhme.org/services/basic-life-support-and-first-aid-training and https://pvhme.org/services/cardiopulmonary-services and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages slow to respond

    https://pvhme.org/patient-resources/donate-now, https://pvhme.org/patient-resources/patient-portal, https://pvhme.org/patient-resources/pay-my-bill, https://pvhme.org/providers, https://pvhme.org/about-us and https://pvhme.org/about-us/mission-and-vision and 9 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 (Not Found)”.

  • 3 low-resolution images

    3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix89
  • 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.

  • Only about 130 words

    The homepage has only about 130 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “APPLY NOW”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Request Medical Records”, “Contact” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks, 4 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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